SWEET PEA IS COMING TO USA……..FIRST STOP HOUSTON 2015 INTERNATIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL

Yes, we are nearly on our way. Four weeks and counting before we pack up our traveling road show  and fly  from Australia for 15 long hours to come exhibit at 2015 Houston International Quilt Show.

Its actually the worlds longest flight but will be so totally worth the effort.  World’s longest flight on biggest plane: A380 takes over Qantas’ Sydney – Dallas route

The Houston show is  from October 29 to Nov 1 at George R. Brown Convention Centre.

HISTORY OF THE FESTIVAL The International Quilt Festival began in 1974.  It is the largest annual consumer quilt show in the world, and was attended by more than 60000 people in 2014 from all over the U.S. and more than 28 countries around the world, from Australia to Zimbabwe.

We are looking forward to coming to the show . We have a large selection of samples of our designs made up for everyone to look at.  We recently have been to Birmingham UK  as exhibitors at the Festival of Quilts and we found that many people who were aware ( and not so aware)  of our designs just loved seeing the actual final product.

As well as showing off our wonderful designs we also have ongoing demonstrations in our stand. This is great for beginners to see just how fun and easy it is to use our designs. It is also a good opportunity to ask questions and get advice.

  1. Love your products, have purchased many. Would love to see a zippered bag that could be used by boys or girls with a soccer ball theme. Maybe an appliqued ball. Looked all over and can’t find anything. Thanks
