INTERNATIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL!

I'm here at the airport is 5:00 a.m. we have a small airport here in Medford this is the sum total of the whole airport we have six gates and I can't wait to get to Houston to these little festival just off the first flight and I see eats coffee thank goodness now all I need is a good book for the flight I'm ready now looking around for fellow cultures I'm sure I'll find them all right we're in the shuttle on the way to the quilt festival so I'll give you some of the scenery here outside all right I can see the convention center here we're getting closer and I can't wait for the quilt show to start all right here I am great weather in Houston great weather for a quilt show just about to open I got here just in time here's the journey fabric smooth so much fun to be an exhibitor here everybody who comes is so nice come to Houston next year come to Festival [Music] I wouldn't fret [Music] oh good [Music] this is the view from the second floor looking out of these big portholes down into the convention floor I don't think you can see our booth from here because it's way over to one side but you get an idea of how truly biggest shows coming up upon our booth here lots of quilters so by just two packages with borders like Christmas these are some of the prize-winning quilts unbelievably awesome Wow [Music] this is the cave facet I am an artisan challenge exhibit here so these quilts behind me were made for that challenge out of cave facet fabrics you know we love his fabrics and tomorrow he's going to be giving a talk in the morning so I'm really gonna try to come and see that I've never met him in person I'll probably be kind of starstruck but the quilts are just awesome here's a prize-winning one really nice these are all quilts from the iron quilt or challenge this is something I may want to try out next year because I'm a pretty fast stitcher so it's kind of like it's a challenge and they give the groups of people some fabric and then they made all these beautiful quotes I don't know how you would pick a winner but I think your time challenged and they all turned out really nice this is my favorite because it has a lot of movement in it this is also the nice one here love the large floral [Music] how you pick a winner they're all so nice [Music] now over here is one we could do so let me know if you want to see this one you know tutorial simple work beautiful quilting elaborate quilting and this has the K facet new boutiques in it very effective bigger pieces because the prints have larger scale and look at the quilting on it really really nicely done beautiful quilt here if you look very closely this is the same method that we used on our chopsticks quilt now this one is way way way smaller and look at the secondary patterns in there just beautifully awesome [Music] in case you come to Houston and want to take a class there is just a ton of them next year I may come and just take classes the whole time all of these quilts in this display here are from the I am an artisan challenge that free spirit and Kay facet is going to be here today at 11 and he's going to have a talk and so I'm gonna try to get over here and see that because that would really be fun to watch so all the quilts in this display they're all from that challenge so most of these are too difficult for me to so but look at the little mirrors in there that'd be really fun to try out so we might put in a few little those I'll see if I can come up with a method that will work for that so we are all waiting for the Cape faceted gallery top very exciting and here he comes this is the first time that I've done the teks because for years people tried to get me to do my cheeks and I thought isn't that just like cat vomit you know it's like mushy things you know people would arrive at my workshop with suitcases full of that cheese next day I only work with that team okay I would look at all this kind of mushy stuff and I would think I'm about flowers and big geometrics and everything what are we going to do so I decided I'm going to vet six I'm going to do big profile wise as I know certain that each had wonderful patterns and strengths to them so I started doing checker boards and big circular prints and things like that so all of that got into to my advantage and then I added to that woven fabrics like nice plaids and D cats and things like that so that we could get a whole artisan feeling I love the idea of artists around the world and I call them real artists who are these craftsmen that make beautiful weaving and beautiful colored whatever you know embroidery that cheeks etc so it's very exciting to be able to work with these artisans around the world and have them you know do my instructions and my kind of aesthetic I hope you enjoyed watching our tour of the quilt festival I had a really good time there and now I'm really glad to be back home so we can get back to our regular format of filming tutorials of quilts and other projects that we want to make thanks for watching [Music]
