October is rolling along and that means International Quilt Market and Festival is right around the corner!! A new product is ready and class handouts are printed and KITS are cut and ready to go. Here is what some of that looks like…

Pieces quilted and cut, bindings cut, folders prepared and packed in bins ready to GO.

My Machine Sewn Binding class at Festival is full. I’m looking forward to teaching bindings that are all sewn by machine, no handwork. I love sewing bindings by hand but I also like getting them done faster using the machine. As you might guess, BRILLIANT BINDINGS will be used and discussed.

I’ll be in BOOTH 114 doing demos and talking quilting!! Bindings, Hexies, patterns, and favorite notions. Will you be at the show? I have 10 complementary tickets for single day admission to give away. If you can go to Festival on October 31 – November 3 and want a ticket, leave me a comment. Or you can send me an email through my website — info@ wendtquilting.com (remove the space). We can make arrangements to get you a ticket.

International Quilt Festival is Oct. 31 – Nov. 3 at the George R Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, TX. They are celebrating 50 years!!! I will also be in Houston for Quilt Market the weekend before. It will be hours of QUILTY FUN! Market is where show owners and industry professionals learn what is new. It is only for those on the business side of quilting. I’m looking forward to catching up with my designer friends, vendor friends and dear friends that helped me get started on my path to designing tools and patterns. I’ll share what is new with Wendt Quilting next week!!

Tips are for quilt show bound friends…

#1 – Dress in layers (Yes, Houston can be hot but AC can be cold.) Same goes for the classrooms!

#2 – Comfort and patience is key at a BIG show.

I hope to see you in Houston in a couple weeks!

in quilting,

Debbie
