Houston Int’l Quilt Show 2025: The Quilts, Part 1

October 23, 2025 / Jenny /

NOTE: I have more posts on the show here, here, and here.

I’m baaack! Twenty-two days of travel in a month is plenty for me. Today’s posts include part of my photos from the Houston show, which was fabulous by the way! Lots of color, exquisite quilting and design, and a few surprises.

I wish I had the time to both organize them by section and make comments, but I just cannot find that time. You will enjoy the eye candy! I think I will have several more posts: more photos, and a post on my experiences with teaching, market, and meeting lots of fun people.

Also, please note that I don’t post photos of quilts that I have already shown in previous show posts. However, I did have a unique issue this year. Since I juried the show with David Taylor and Sarah Ann Smith, every quilt looks familiar! I may have inadvertently left out a quilt or two.

Enjoy!
