Quilt Market Weekend

One of the cool things about living in Houston is the Quilt Show that is here each autumn.  Talk about amazing works of art!  This weekend is the industry show (not open to the public) and I am going down there in a few minutes and see who I might run into (yes, I'll say "excuse me").  Then it's on to Yarntopia this afternoon for Robyn's booksigning and cookie party!  Mmmmm....cooookies..... hope to see you in Katy!

Have a great weekend everyone.  I'll leave you with some great crafty blog sites from around the Innernets:
