I had always wanted to go to the International Quilt Festival in Houston, but it never seemed to work out, but THIS YEAR, I decided to make it happen. I signed up for a bus (same day) trip for this weekend. I left the house about 5:45 AM and got home at 9:15 PM. We arrived at the convention center about 10:10 AM and had until 4:00 PM to see everything.
I got the pink bag along with my ticket and a show pin along with the price I paid for the bus ride. The first few pictures are the things I bought from vendors.

| A Buggy Barn Calendar, new quilting gloves and a pattern. |
 |
| Thera-Glove (support hose for your hands). Maybe these will help with the tingling and numbness. |
OK. Now on to the quilts! First of all, the "BEST OF SHOW" Quilt. I don't know if you can read the description in the picture under the quilt, but it was based on a picture taken at the Dallas Arboretum last December. We saw this boat when we went there with some friends!
I hope you enjoy seeing some of the quilts that I liked best. I didn't always take a picture of the description because I couldn't always get a good view of it. Sorry about that.

| The 16-patches were bought in an antique shop and I love how this was put together. |

| The original baby quilt |
I really liked this old baby quilt and the reproduction of it above. It is the kind of thing that is fun to do. \
I will post more amazing quilt pictures tomorrow.
