Oh Houston Quilt Fest 2015...you done me in!

The International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX was beyond a doubt

 an experience never to be forgotten!

Early mornings getting breakfast and meals/snacks for later in the day stretched our legs.

As did set up!  Boxes and boxes of yard cuts, fat quarters and bundles.  Was wondering if we would get it set up in time for preview.

But we did!  What a team and what an awesome looking booth!

 (Circle window second from the right is where overhead shots were taken.)

Last minute instructions before the masses swarmed through the doors.

And swarm they did!  Oh Houston....I'm still recovering!

Texas sized baked potatoes sure helped!:)

By the way....new phone...new case....new fun...I'm on Instagram now...come play!:)

October # 9 Challenge Applique & Orange

Mini Mania strikes again!  

Leslie got us to put our thinking caps on....all applique and a shot of orange.  

Well, I love orange so there was no problem for me!:)

Looks kinda lumpy on the sides but you know there is a reason.

Had this top leftover from the seven samples made for the Angled Frames tutorial. 

Perfect for a background so cutting a piece from the upper right corner another....

....pillow was created!

A few buttons, some embroidery and a bit of quilting was all it took.

A couple more sections cut out for the envelope back.

Our shower curtain was my inspiration!:)

The pillow insert is one from our couch and a bit too snug but it worked for picture taking.  Now it is packed away with the others until the house is finished.

Happy Ghosty Day to you from me, Mr. Pumpkin-head and the Bride of Frankenstein.

I'm Ghouling away at Houston International Quilt Festival!
