We made it back safe and sound last night, after another fine Houston trip. My good friend and assistant, Rose, was an enormous help as usual! Thank you, Rose!! We always have a lot of fun on these trips.

As I expected, probably due to the economy, Market attendance was down and sales were not as good as usual, but better than I had thought they would be. While I did not see some of my regular customers many were there, and I even picked up some new ones! Also made some nice connections that I hope will develop into something good in the future!

The quilts on display were many and wonderful. I found all six of mine and discovered some new contests to consider  entering next year if time permits.

Shopping at Festival was overwhelming as always and I returned with way too much stuff! Fabric and thread and books that all need to be put away now in an already crowded studio.  I do remember saying I would not shop so much this year, but best laid plans, and all that…….!

We had several days to just “play� and perhaps I will tell you about that tomorrow. Now I have LOTS of unpacking to do!
