Let me back up just a little. At first there were issues. One friend couldn't go, then she could, then she couldn't. And all of that was fine, except she was going to drive and had taken care of the hotel accommodations.
But as is often the case, a sister came through with her timeshare and we were able to get an extra night and let the hotel go. I decided to drive Rich's truck, which all but terrified me. And yet another sister came through at the last minute with her car. Then the weather was horrid. What a mess!

In the end we left early to get ahead of the storm, but thankfully, we had told Lee to keep Wednesday open. That gave us all of Thursday to walk the George R. Brown Convention Center. Oh, it's as big as its name.

I got lucky because a couple of the quilt winners were showing their quilts and answering questions. Then I beat it to the farthest corner of the GRB and started with one of my favorites, Tactile Architecture.

And my day only got better. Kaffe Fassett had a special exhibit of some of his quilts. I happened upon him presenting them one-by-one. He spoke about the inspiration for each quilt, the fabrics he used, how he came to design his fabrics, and so on. It was very interesting to see into the mind of a artist.
