I just got back late last night from QuiltCon in Austin Texas.
There were hundreds of amazing quilts. You can see a small sample of them here, including the award winners. And Luana Rubin’s Flickr page gives a good idea of what the quilts looked like hanging in the show.
It was a wonderful opportunity to see the quilts ‘up close and in person’, attend inspiring lectures, spend time with friends and fellow quilters, enjoy great food, buy fabric, etc.
I took lots of photos. Here are just a few of my favorites, starting with me standing in front of my quilt.
This was my pick for Viewers Choice, GLITCH by Susan Strong (another Canadian!).
Here’s a rusty metal armadillo I spotted on our way to dinner one night. I wonder what’s in the grass?
We had to stop at Gourdough’s Big Fat Donuts food truck, even though the temperature had dropped to almost freezing – I’m talking about eating donuts outside in 3 degree Fahrenheit weather! They were worth it!
Yesterday, we had to wait a few hours in the Austin airport for our flight home. We found a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some great wine and food – Vino Volo – very civilized!
It was so nice to see your stunning quilt in person and to see you at QuiltCon!
we had fun!
