QuiltCon-sumed

 I've had a great weekend!

The inaugural QuiltCon in Austin, Texas!

Just up the road a piece from me, I arrived Thursday afternoon & spent 2 days seeing some great quilts, meeting some great people & eating some great food. I spent time with lots of my fellow HMQG members, bonding with & getting to know better Mona & Anna & Ila, Tammy & Sally & Katie & Gaby & Jacey & Jami, Liz & Pam & Deirdre & Chi, Rebecca & Becca & Becky. I met some bloggers who I admire: Chawne Kimber, Marianne Haak, Sherri Lynn Wood, Deb Rowden, Victoria Findlay Wolfe.

Doesn't it just make you happy to be a quilter! These photos are wonderful! I was admiring Victoria's groovy silver top and then nearly fell off my chair when I saw that Wedding Ring quilt!! Wow, that is such a great quilt, really amazing. I bet you had the best time.
