I always say, no matter how much we already know you can always learn something new. Open a book, website, or blog, take a class that is labeled for beginner, even if you think your skill is higher. I bet you will learn a tip or trick or two; there is something to be said for taking it back to the basics now and then, it's refreshing.
Houston, I Have Landed – Houston Quilt Market

Houston, I Have Landed – Houston Quilt Market

I know this is a few months past.. but it took me a while to process all the fantastic things/feelings that are Houston Quilt Market. The first trip is in the books,  walking through those convention doors, the mass amount of space that was in front of me, the twisting aisles of fabric, quilts, notions, clothing, tools, designers, and industry professionals… Overwhelming. But exciting and inspiring at the same time.
