I will be
here!!!!
This is a
picture of 2 years ago, my first time at the Houston Quilt Festival, this was
the banner that greeted us quilters flying in from all over the world just
behind the immigration booths on your way down to the luggage belts at Houston
Intercontinental Airport, isn’t that wonderful? Can you imagine something like
this just behind our customs guys at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport before you
reach the luggage belts….noooo… but this
is Houston, a very welcoming town, I love it!!
I packed my
bags a few days ago, suitcase full of gifts and Dutch seasonal (Sinterklaas) goodies
for the friends I will be staying with:
In the pink
package, one pincushion for my friend, enjoyed making it so much made one for
myself as well, although I don’t quite understand how they turned out to be
different sizes..
I will be
staying in a wonderful old neighbourhood of Houston called The Heights, look:
Yes, this is
Houston also. And within the inner loop too, just 15 taxi minutes from downtown
and the Convention Centre. Most visitors, also those visiting the Quilt
Festival will not see much else than downtown, high rises, freeways and
shopping malls, but there is so much more to this city.
And of
course I have this to look forward to:
I hope to
come back with lots of nice pictures for you (although at many of the booths
and some of the exhibitions picture taking is forbidden, but I am sure there is
still enough to be photographed), see you in a bit!
