Quilt Market Houston 2013: booth pics

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Plaid Portico

So much to see! Here are some installations or booths I enjoyed enough to snap a pic. My favorite booth was this soft and textured mega pillar by Fairfield. Maybe it was because all the white and ivories were such an oasis amongst the other booths filled with mega color. I’ll even show you several sides.

And someone creative is booth designing at Timeless Treasures. LOVE the shark tops. Don’t quite get it but I love it anyway. And more…

A bit disappointed about the Michael Miller blue booth. Yes, its gorgeous, they always have a gorgeous booth. Whine… but I was going to do a blue booth for an upcoming show. Now I maybe will, maybe I won’t. Guess its a different audience so maybe I will…
