Walk down the aisles with us at Houston Market. See what The Quilt Show owners see while you get music by Ricky Tims (If I Were Love from his Heart and Soul CD) and they just get noise.

On Day 2 the booths are finished and the quilt store owners flood the floor to check out what is new and hot and fun. They roam the booths looking for the items that will make your shopping a complete experience and get you the tools you need to succeed. We revisited some of the same booths as Day 1 to show the changes.

The quilts are amazing and we are clicking away. We just finished the antique quilts and the traditional quilts. We will tease you with just a few tomorrow as we get ready to put them into slide shows.

Across the street is a park that has events, social art and even weddings. Join us on Day 2.

It's that time of year and we'd like to see you share your inner goblin.  During the month of October we want to see your ghosts of Halloween past.  Go to Show & Tell and give us a glimpse of your homemade Halloween costumes.  Whether you made it for you, a friend, a child, or a ghoul, trick or treat and give us a peek. Please limit yourself to 4 pictures. (And yes, those leaves were all put on by hand.)

Inspector Gadget and his friend, Poison Ivy.
