Fun at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX and New Stash from Silver Needle

My sweet dh took me to the International Quilt Festival today in Houston and wow did I ever have a blast at Silver Needle's booth.  The models for the first three photos were up in the booth and they were so pretty, I just couldn't resist!  Gerti Sells Yarn by the Seashore by The Sampler girl came in the mail today.  All in all it was a really fun time.  I wish I could just put on new legs,  feet and back after walking for hours but I got to see so many beautiful quilts too and so many vendors with so much to see.  It was my favorite festival of the year.   I am stitching on the apples and baskets on my Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow and when I have more to show, I will do a post.  I haven't done punch needle but want to try after seeing the models there today.  I have a great needle and want to give it a try.  Hope it looks half as nice as the model!   Thank you everyone for your comments on my last post.  It really helped cheer me up!
