Patricia Belyea of Okan Arts got to experience first hand the Iron Quilter Challenge in Houston. She writes,

 "Being a solitary and plodding quilter, I loved the Iron Quilter Challenge—a fast-paced spectator sport—on the Monday night of Quilt Festival. Six teams of five, led by a quilting celebrity, were given seven yards of fabric and two hours to complete a quilt top."

The Team Leaders and their team names:

  • Charlotte Angotti of Angotti Avengers
  • Marti Michell of Marti and the Cut Ups
  • Pam Holland of Pam’s Possums
  • Catherine Redford of Redford Raiders
  • Gyleen Fitzgerald of Gyleen’s Take Five
  • Karen K. Stone of Stone Cold Foxes
