International Quilt Festival Catalogue

by

Houston_catalog.jpgOK, I received Houston’s catalogue in the mail this weekend and I have been drooling over it and trying not to be jealous of everyone who will get to go. I have never been to the Houston show, although it is on the top of my wish list for quilt shows. The few people I know who have went had nothing but high praise for it and were happy to let me know I have to go at least once in my lifetime.

One upside is that I have attended the spring show in Chicago since I live in the suburbs which has me allowed me to view some of the things that will be in Houston. I have seen the Make It University (here is the link to Chicago’s event) which is more than just exhibits. There are also workshops, demos and vendors that work in various mediums that complement quilting. I have also seen the Journal Quilt project and the Bernina Fashion Showcase although it may not be the newer one they will be showing in Houston. One exhibit they will be having that wasn’t in the IQA Chicago show but was shown at another quilt show near Chicago last fall is the Alzheimer’s Quilts curated by Ami Simms who has a personal mission she is trying to accomplish with the exhibit and of which I wrote about earlier here.

Another upside is that I won’t have to decide on which classes to take. There are so many choices and I love to take classes and try new things. An aspect of the catalogue I noticed that is useful is an index showing classes by category so you will be able to search on what area you are interested in.

Although I won’t be able to go, I hope many of you will and please make sure that you share your experience. Those of us who can’t go still want to know what goes on.

Question of the day: Will you be attending the show in Houston?
