I just got back from Quilt Market  where I got to talk briefly with quilting legend Eleanor Burns . She was signing her new book Forty Fabulous Years celebrating her forty years in the quilting business and I was lucky enough to be nearby to get in line.  Eleanor is just as full of life as ever…

I just got back from Quilt Market and didn’t take a single picture to share with you.  It is a working Market, albeit a fun one. But we stayed very busy and there wasn’t much time to casually walk through the long rows of vendor booths. We had appointments to meet with about five different…

Well, another year of Quilt Market and Festival have passed in somewhat of a blur this year. With the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the Houston Astros winning the World Series, I was somewhat distracted. And takes an awful lot to get me distracted from anything quilt related.

In spite of how it may appear in the picture, I really had a productive quilt market. The vendors go out of their way to decorate their booths and make it fun for the Market attendees and it’s great to go just to witness their creativity. I met with several fabric vendors and ordered over…

I love this time of year. Not only did we have a beautiful fall day without a cloud in the sky, but I’m in major anticipation mode for the Houston International Quilt Market. Three of my fellow quilting business owners and I rent a room at the Hilton Americas next to the convention center and…

After Quilt Market ends, the Houston International Quilt Festival begins. Unlike Market, which is a trade show for business owners, Festival is open to the public. And does it ever attract a crowd. Over 50,000 people attend during the four day show. I haven’t heard the attendance figures for this year, but last year was…

As promised, here are pictures from Quilt Market. As I said, it is a huge show and there is a lot of ground to cover. The picture on the left only shows about a third of the Market area. I enjoyed meeting with the vendors and picking out new fabrics to use in my T-shirt…

Quilt Market was exciting for several reasons, but one of the best ones was the release of Red Crinoline Quilt’s new book Tributes and Treasures. Paula Barnes and Mary Ellen Robison are the authors, designers and makers of the quilts in the book, but I was privileged to have quilted several of the quilts including…

Life gets real exciting for me at this time of year. It all starts with the annual family reunion that I attended last week. This weekend is International Quilt Market at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. I’m fortunate to be living close to Houston so I can attend every year. Actually, some…

Take a look at our Gallery to see examples of the T-Shirt Quilts as well as few of the many other quilts we have made.

I started making quilts as a child and have been quilting for others for over twenty years. Quilts that I have quilted have been featured in several quilting books and magazines.
