Hello Houston!

July 19, 2012 31 Comments

No, I am not going to Houston.
But my latest shadow trapunto quilt will be there, for a few days, in November.
It has been accepted into the 2012 International Quilt Festival.

shadow trapunto quilt
I  named it A World of Many Colors
(I know, not too inspired! I am engineer!)

I am so happy, since I made  it, it stays rolled on top of a closet. I can’t even think to hang it on a wall, because of the cats!
Now, to finish hand stitching the hanging sleeve!
Are you going to Houston ?

    Your cuilt deserves to be at Huston. It is so beautiful.
    And no I am not going to Huston. I would love to, but I live in Denmark, so the teip would take a wail and can not leave my students that long
    Lots of Love

    I don't have cats, so when it is finished hanging in Houston, just send to to me in Vienna, West Virgina and I will hang it on my wall.

    The quilt is gorgeous and I say Congratulations on being juried in! I heard only 54% of the quilts sent in were juried in this year!

    If you don't want to hang it, send it to me after the show and I will hang it next to "The Angel" that I won from Sharon Schamber. 🙂

    Oh I'm so excited it got accepted! It is a stunning quilt!

    I am NOT going to Houston, and am so so sad. My entire family is from Texas and my grandmother-in-law recently started quilting and asked me to make the trip down to take some classes with her. I had to decline, because my husband and I found out this awesome bonding with Nan/quilting experience would cost over $1000… It is tough to justify that vacation cost if I'm going without him.

    After seeing the list of teachers, I am SO sad I am missing out. And now I'm missing a chance to see your quilt too 🙁

    Your quilt is so beautiful. I'm sure it will be really appreciated in Houston, especially for all the work that's gone into it. It's a shame you have to keep it away from the cats. Ali x
