So where did Alex and Capt'n John go on their day off between Market and Festival? Alex always likes to test the local transit system and off we went to the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. The METRO Rail is less than a mile from the Convention Center and a short walk from our hotel. Just six stops down is the Museum district and the Fine Arts Museum. But one stop before is the Wheeler Station, and from there it is a short walk to the Craft Center at 4848 Main Street.

Thank you to Mary Headrick, Communications Director, for allowing us to bring you a taste of the Fiber Art exhibit currently running. If you are in Houston for the Quilt Show, make sure to visit the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. It's an easy ride, an interesting exhibit and a fun store.
