I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!
If you do not see the podcast player above, please click on this link. You can listen to a podcast anywhere and at any time. It is a recording that is available to you whenever you'd like to listen. If you'd like to download it to your iTunes library, click here. You can also pause and rewind or fast forward as you desire. I like to listen to podcasts while I'm making art. It's a little like hanging out with friends while you art.
Today we're talking about my recent trip to International Quilt Festival Houston. I'm sharing a bunch of photos of quilts, but I have to tell you: this is a fraction of what was there. A fraction.
And here's a peek at me demo-ing, as well as Myriah demo-ing:
Oh, and there was a mirror by the elevator in the hotel. I couldn't help myself, it felt like home! ;)
On the podcast we discuss what I was doing at Quilt Festival, the Festival itself, being knocked over by wheelchairs, making quilts, the Modern Quilt movement, and lots more! Be sure to leave us your comments and questions. I always like to know what's on your mind. Thanks for stopping by!
All podcasts are archived here. Find the show on iTunes here.
Such a wonderful variety of textures, designs and colors!
I can’t pick a favorite (and who would ask me to pick just one), but the girl with the green eye in the water is gorgeous.

Great post. Loved the variety of quilts you captured. I even saw some here I missed at the show. I spoke with you at the booth in Houston and have been trying to contact you via email. I neglected to get your shipping address. Please email me to continue our conversation.

Hey Julie! I was one of the lucky ones that got to meet you and take my pic with ya – I emailed it to you. I had no clue you weren’t feeling well you were soooo upbeat, funny, and gracious! I hope your trip to Texas this time was a wonderful one and that you will come back to the Houston area.

Amazing. Incredible. Inspiring. Beautiful. I could keep going. Breathtaking. Seems like it would take days to really enjoy all that amazing art. (You look great, by the way). Thanks for posting.

I am listening to the podcasts and look forward to your blogs!!! When you said you were going to the quilt festival, I thought that would be nice but then the pics made me feel like how amazing it would be to be there and see all that talent. It is harder for me to travel now and I love seeing all the amazing things you are part of. Thank you.

These quilts don’t look like the ones at the quilt show I go to with my mom! These look like art journal pages and paintings with funky shapes and lots of texture. Beautiful!

Love it, as usual. I’m sitting here making holiday cards for next year. This years have already been assigned and donated, just can’t stop making them. My daughter has gotten into small throw size quilts in the last couple of years, and this year she is making table runners and place mats. She hand knots instead of quilting to finish them. I just love the color and helping her pick fabrics and designing. Every art form inspires my cards and art journaling. Thanks for all of your inspiration.

Some of these quilts are absolutely fantastic, some a little less so, but all are incredibly imaginative and wonderful. Thank you for showing them.
May I take this opportunity to take exception to your comment of being ‘run over by wheelchairs’? Sadly I am one of the unfortunates who must visit such exhibitions in a wheelchair and I have to say that far from running over people, my driver (husband) takes extreme care not to touch other people. However a little consideration from those people would go a long way to ensuring their own (and our) safety, eg, look before you suddenly stop, join a line or crowd of people, turn around and so on. It isn’t that easy to jump back if someone suddenly stops in front of you when you are in a chair. To my mind this is a bit like cyclists complaining about how unreasonable motorists are: we each have to take some responsibility for how we use the roads whatever they are made of. I intend no offence here, just a gentle reminder that wheelchair-bound people are entitled to visit exhibitions as much as anyone else and do not intend harm to others.
