Now that I’m in Houston, it’s very easy for me to go to the International Quilt Festival, which just finished up last weekend. There were so many beautiful quilts in the show.
This quilt of Jack Nicholson cracked me up – it looks JUST like him!
And I’m in love with this quilt. It felt like you could reach out and pet this dog.
I think this was my personal favorite. I”m always a fan of optical illusions, and this hexi sphere looks like it’s coming out at you!
