Le Festival International du Quilt à Houston

The International Quilt Festival 

was held at the Gorges R. Brown convention center this week

and closes its doors tonight.

Thousands of visitors came to admire the many quilts on display and shop at the numerous booths selling  everything quilters need .

The Best of Show was created by a quilter from Arizona.

We could barely get near it.....

The Founders Award quilt was more traditional

The World of Beauty Award went to an Australian Quilter

Here are a few of my favorites

 The visiting crowds were huge, enthusiastic, and ready to shop ....

By the end of the day many were exhausted and in pain.....

But fun was had by all.

On our way home we saw a truck with the best bumper sticker 

" This driver carries NO cash.... His wife is a quilter ! "
