Featured Quilt - First Place Hand Crafted / Hand Made at Houston 2024
Hello Ladybug by Yoshiyuki Ishizaki won First Place - Hand Crafted / Hand Made (Sponsored by Andover) at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. Yoshiyuki's quilt's reputation certainly lives up to the award it won, featuring beautiful hand piecing, hand appliqué, hand embroidery, and hand quilting. While admiring all the work that Yoshiyuki put into her quilt, she leaves you with one simple question to reflect the title of her work, “Would you like to count the number of lady bugs in my quilt?” So, how many ladybugs do YOU think are in the quilt? (No, really, we'd like to know, we don't actually know how many there are!) |

Preview Night Is Tonight
The 50th Anniversary of the Houston International Quilt Festival actually begins tomorrow, October 31, 2024, but some will get to experience all the grandeur tonight as preview night takes place. What will you see when you enter the doors of the convention center? It truly is a sight to behold, and when the TQS crew visited the show early last week they got a glimpse of what would greet every quilter as they walked though the doors. What did they see? Take a look for yourself, and get some other sneak peeks of the convention floor. |

Open These "Windows" and See Some Amazing Quilts
Speaking of the 2024 Houston International Quilt Festival, what else do you think you might see once you're there? Well, you'll find en exhibit from one our past guests. That's right, Lisa Ellis has an exhibit at the show entitled Cathedral Windows Contemporary Explorations, sponsored by Cherrywood Fabrics, that features her quilts that share her "long love affair of the textures and complexity of the overlapping circles of the Cathedral Window design." We caught up with Lisa on the floor of the show and she personally gave us some inside scoop.
See the exhibit for yourself this week at the 2024 Houston International Quilt Festival, which takes place at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas from October 31, 2024 through November 3, 2024, with Preview Night occurring on October 30, 2024.
