In my second Houston post I thought I'd share some of the quilts from the different exhibits. There were a lot of exhibits, but I'll just be sharing my favorites. Probably the most spectacular exhibit was the quilts made in honor of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Those of you who are TQS veterans probably know Lorchen. A friend of hers was one of the artists who worked on these quilts. My friend Sharon and I were lucky enough to meet Lorchen and her friend last spring when they visited the US. Here is the full exhibit from the left:

And a couple of the individual quilts:
The Log Cabin - Today! exhibit featured Log Cabin quilts made by Brigitte Morgenroth. It was full of spectacular Log Cabin quilts in a variety of settings using a variety of fabrics, including a lot of silks. I loved it! Here are a few of her quilts:
