Preparing for the Houston Quilt Festival

We are so excited to tell you that the Winchester Quilt Block Trail has been invited to have a booth at the Houston Quilt Festival!  We will be at Booth 152.  We will showcase our quilt blocks for sale on the front of our little Red Barn.  We will have information how to paint a quilt block and will be showing the documentary "Pieced Together" which is about the barn quilt trail movement.  

We are so thankful for our great volunteers who have been helping us paint quilt blocks--Carol, Karen, Nicolette, Pat and Ellen.  They have helped us reach our goal of 40 painted blocks to take to the show!

The Quilt Festival is held at the George R Brown Convention Center and runs October 31-November 3.  Wear comfortable shoes and come see us in Booth 152!

I had such a wonderful day working on my quilt block. First of all the drive there is so relaxing and if you keep your eyes open you will see loads of quilt blocks along the way on fences, houses, barns, etc.
There are a lot of pattern choices for you to choose from. I knew immediately when I saw the pattern that was for me on that day. The ladies are so helpful and positive. I just lost myself in the work. I have a stressful job and I just melted in relaxation with each hour that flew by and I knew when I walked out the door I that WILL be back again. A friend told me about the class and I am so happy that I got to go! I am getting ready to sign up again!

Margaret, Kathy and Karen each have a wonderful gift of teaching with encouragement and patience. You will have a beautiful quilt block at the end of your class and likely a new friendship or two.

My daughter and I have attended two barn quilt classes. My daughter (a 30-something) has really gotten into the planning and painting.
The ladies who guide you in the class are wonderful! So supportive, and they help make it a fun experience!
I highly recommend taking a class!
