The park right in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston is called Discovery Green. It is beautifully maintained and is a wonderful place for weekends and events. We love seeing the flowers and plants each year.

Helen took a wool appliqué pattern and recreated it using needle turn appliqué to create her quilt, Round the Garden. That's a lot of edges to turn under. She further enhanced the design with embroidery and hundreds of French and Colonial knots. This is not your 'quilt-in-a-day' quilt. Did we mention that it was part of the SMALL appliqué category at the International Quilt Festival in Houston 2019?

Marilyn Smith's quilt, 15 Warthogs, won not one, but two awards. It was selected as the Judge's Choice award by Cindy Seitz-Krug and also won Viewer's Choice award at the International Quilt Festival in Houston 2019. It was exhibited as part of the Alternative Techniques category and while the color and graphic impact catches your eye, you are drawn in by all the meticulous detail on each warthog. (See approximate size in the last picture.)

Amy Pabst walked Lilo through a number of her log cabin quilts which were featured in her exhibit, Log Cabin: 100K. The series of quilts focused on miniature scale and explored the unlimited layout and design options of the log cabin block. There are a total of 102,779 individual pieces in this exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston 2019 and some of them are very, very small.
