"Seasonal Sisters" by Helen Godden, Annette Hendricks, and Gail Thomas

The Quilt Show.com and You, it's members, tonight presented "The World of Beauty Award" at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX. It came as a complete (and wonderful) surprise as Ricky and Alex announced that our friends The Three Sisters had won the award. We were very lucky to have them work on their quilt at Ricky's studio in La Veta. To watch go to "Articles" and scroll down to June 29, 2008 or just click here.

Keep your eyes on the blog as we work the booth and visit the quilt galleries throughout the week. A number of familiar names and faces will be appearing.
