When Quilt Market was complete, we took it all down and put it all back up again, but this time in our standard 10′ x 20′ size booth. We pretended to be oh so cool, but on the inside, we were jumping on the bed! We had such a lovely time. We were invited to a Marcus Fabric’s Designer Dinner. I underestimated the number of buyers wanting our flyers! Quick, more copies. The first day of Market, I gave away all our promotional materials. Our booth size was 10′ x 7′ and the tiniest booth we’d ever rented. We had no idea what to expect for Quilt Market. It took two GPS tracking phones, the truck’s GPS, and Mom’s AAA map to get us where we wanted to go. ![]() If you’re close to Waco, stop in to see the Magnolia farms, and don’t forget cupcakes at the bakery! The lemon lavender was terrific! WHAT?! Waco is on the way to Houston?! Only 20 minutes out of the way, but I made it in half the time! I’m a fan of the “Fixer Upper” show with Chip and Joanna Gaines. ![]() Driving along the highway I see a sign for Waco. We made it to “Amarillo by Morning” and continued the trail south. We pleaded for Kelly, Lora’s husband, to drive us down the mountain, and then once the snow was clear, we dropped him off at the airport to fly home. Scary for a couple California fair-weather quilters, towing a U-Haul trailer with a big fat Ram Truck. Of course, the night before we leave, it started blowing snow like a typical Mountain storm. Lora had 23 quilts for the guests to borrow, and none of those were our pattern/show varieties. One little guy was snuggled on a lap in a Minky backed quilt, looking quite comfy and toasty. Altitude took a wee bit getting used to (puff, puff, gasp, puff) No sewing during those few days, but it was super cool to see all of Lora’s lap quilts brought out for the guests to use during the outdoor ceremony. It was on the way, right? My niece was getting married in Estes Park, and it was gorgeous. We started on our road journey to Houston Quilt Market and Festival by first taking a slight detour to Colorado. Plus, the home we rented while in Houston was lovely, but there is no place like home. I know most people miss their bed, but Holiday Inn’s beds are REALLY nice. After more than three weeks on the road, having your own bathroom is sooo nice. We’re home! We’d been home a couple of weeks actually, but I had wanted to give a report on our trip. ![]()
