Going south with a carload of quilters is indeed a dream....especially to see the most gorgeous quilts on the planet - not to mention enough vendors to fill the huge convention center from one end to the other. I never had my camera with me there but it was unbelieveable. I cannot imagine how many people were there, but it was staggering.
Besides the beautiful quilts, vendors, and eating out, we also decided to head to Galveston on Saturday. We took the ferry across to the peninsula and then up highway 10 back to Houston. What a trek! When we got back it was about time to gear up for the OSU and KSU game - so watched that! Way to go Cats. Sunday was spent driving home which took 12 hours - I was sure tired but glad to be home. Here are just a few of the images of my pictorial journey....
Kristi and I went to the park - it was so pretty to see...notice the giant balls in the trees!
This is our carload of girls.....me, Kristi, Susie, and Glenda. We literally shopped till we dropped!
This is one of the artsy quilts that is not a block but just pieces of fabric and then free motion quilting on top!
I really enjoyed looking at the traditional quilts - all of them were so unique.
I bought this pattern at the Lynette Andersonn booth. The wheel barrow is a hand painted button. So pretty!
One of the ferries coming back with a load of cars and people and motorcycles.
Ships in the bay waiting to come in and dock and unload their cargo. We also saw some dolphins swimming close by but they were too fast for my camera. I'm sure the ferry stirs up some food for them but I did not see any in a pod like at Fripp.
Letting my toes soak in some of that gulf coast water and sand!
I took a lot of pictures with my cell phone so I'll try and get those downloaded too. Downtown Houston was certainly pretty at night, especially from our hotel window. What a great time! Back in Kansas again.....until the next trip.
