Quilt Con 2015

I'm having a great time in Austin, Texas at Quilt Con. I spent the day catching up with old friends, meeting new friends and attending several lectures. I had a brief walk through the show and just a quick look at all the vendors.


It was exciting to see my quilt in the show....sort of fun hearing some of the remarks!!! Lots of fun,actually.


The trip started with me getting up at 3 am in the morning and meeting Leanne (She Can Quilt) at the airport. That early morning thing should account for the goofy look on my face. Trust me I am NOT a morning person.


Dinner out with new friends (Christine and Stephanie).


And guess who won first prize in the minimalist category??? Leanne (She Can Quilt) This picture does not do this lovely quilt justice. Congrats, Leanne!!!! 

Tomorrow I have much more time to go through the show more thoroughly. The quilts are amazing. I'll keep you posted!!!

    I hoped to get to meet you at Quiltcon yesterday, but did get to see your Quilt. One of a kind! It was really unique among many stunning modern quilts. This was a much better show than 2 years ago!

    I saw your quilt there, it was one of my favorites. In fact I put a picture of it on my blog, didn't know who made it, then found out while reading bloglovin. It is a wonderful piece of art !

    Mari, you knocked this one out of the park!!! Unbelievable, truly. I've been perusing many of the quilt con pics. Can't believe yours did not win anything. Love your interpretation. I sure wish I could take a class with you.

    I had seen your quilt on your blog, but seeing it in person at QuiltCon really proved how beautiful it is. It's really quite a work of art, and I love it!

    I recently discovered your work and can't get enough of it. Your work is my favorite of all the blogs I visit. I am absolutely taken by your work and the way you relate to the fabric. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and work. Have you considered writing a book?
