    I Am In Houston until November 1

    I am working at International Quilt Festival from October 20-November 1, 2021. Answers to questions may not come quickly.

    A Special Exhibit of my quilts called My Joyful Journey features 23 of my quilts, from early humble pieces to my four Best of Show winners. If you are here, I hope you will take a look.

    I told my family this is my Lifetime Achievement Award.

    I will be there to greet people Wednesday October 27, 7-8 pm, Friday October 29, 2-3 pm, and Saturday October 30, 2-3 pm.

    Barbara,
    Congratulations on you very well-deserved “life time achievement award”! ! ! I have followed your blog, viewed so many of your exquisite quilts, and think you do lovely, creative work! I would love to see your pieces as displayed in Houston, but alas Michigan is just too far away (this year). Your quilts are stunning, but are equaled by the quality of your teaching skills, clarity of instructions, and your willingness to share, encourage, and applaud each of our efforts. This is my first year as a TQS member…and my first BOM project. Enjoy your joyful journey…you certainly are enriching mine.

      Oh, Jackie, thank you so much for your kind words. It is my goal to share as much of my quilt knowledge with as many quilters who want to learn what I have learned over the years. TQS gives me the perfect place to do that. I am glad to have you along on the journey.

                I too, wish to extend my congratulations. I have enjoyed working on Color My World and looked forward to your directions and tips to make everything go together smoothly and efficiently. I wish I could have seen your quilts exhibited at the show. I am sure they made for a spectacular display.
