Here are a few photos from the last two wonderful days at International Quilt Convention - Africa:


The vendor hall has been packed!

Jodi Barrows of Square in a Square had a crowd in her booth all day. Her husband and son worked the booth while she taught.


At the Clothworks booth, I was excited to see a group admiring my friend Julie' flower pattern. She markets the pattern under her company's name, LaTodera.



























One student, Yvette Muller, brought her version of my "Pink Petal Party" quilt to show me. she's completed the blocks, and now has to stitch the sashings and borders. Isn't it wonderful?


Agnes Brook, who runs a quilting business in Botswana, came to see the convention and take classes, including my "Start With a Photo" class:
