Quilt Market #15, more booths!
Well I promised I would be complete my Quilt Market Houston 2012 coverage in November, but surprise! There is still more. Probably because I took a bit of break to finish unpacking the new studio (excited!!) In a week or so, we should get the sewing table and workbench in and then it will feel really complete. The painting/drawing area is all set and its wonderful…More pics to come on that here and at a laughing gate.
In the meantime, here are more Quilt Market booth pics. There are links to websites if you click on the image. Enjoy!
More Quilts from Quilt Market 2012 Houston
Here we go with more quilts from Quilt Market 2012 in Houston. Its a HUGE exhibition by the way. I am only covering quilts that catch my eye first time through each section as I only had a chance for one time through. Here goes, for a look through my curatorial eye, such as it is. And there are lots more to come in future postings..
