This first quilt is called "Hope" and was made by Darcia Berg of Joliet, Illinois. All around the inner border is written in script a verse by Oliver Wendell Holmes ( if I remember correctly). It took my breath away!This next quilt was made by Emily Pousa( I may have her name spelled wrong as I was writing quickly) of St. Charles, Illinois. It is called "Tulip Queen of Night". This quilt was probably queen size and the location where it was placed as you came around the corner, it hit you right in the eye.
The quilt above is called "Whose woods are these?" by Jane Kennedy. I wonder if she was thinking about Robert Frost's poem when she made this. It is really lovely, calming. The moon was appliqued and the rays coming off it were fibers.
This last quilt is called "They Popped Again" made by Louise Schotz of Irma, WI. I just love the ferns interwoven with the Poppies. 
Well, hope everyone enjoyed the tour!! If you ever get a chance to go to Houston, do it. The pictures really don't do these quilts justice. The workmanship is exquisite.
I won't be posting to my blog as often. Work is consuming me ( we have a BIGGG trial coming up and I'm buried) and the holiday season is upon us. What little time I have will be used for shopping and hopefully QUILTING. I hope to post every couple of weeks with my own personal quilting progress and pictures instead of everyone else's. LOL . Until the next posting, QUILT TIL YOU WILT, LADIES~

I love the poetry/quilting connection.
Will miss your posts Ann, but certainly understand. Please do check in every 10 days or so - just so we won't worry about you.
Don't let yourself get too overwhelmed with work and the holidays -- take a few moments just for yourself .... to quilt *s*
It's hard to pick out a favorite, but the bird's nest has got to be right up there.
Oh I love that nest one - well I like all of them, but yes, the nest one speaks to me. I'll miss your posts! Don't work too hard!
Love them! Thanks so much for sharing. (I plan to do 1 or 2 pictoral quilts - 1 realistic, 1 abstract fromthe same photo.)
Hey Annie, what great pictures! Every one of them inspiring! Not inspiring to make, but to know that we are capable of such great interpretation with fabric and fiber.
I'll miss ya bunches, do come back after the trial and holidays are history, ok??? Hugs, Finn
My favorite is "Whose Woods Are These." Robert Frost definitely comes to mind when viewing it! Another New England thing? ;)
The mini-pizzas must be as well since I remember them as a child too. It had been years and years since I've made them...which is a shame since they are simple and yummy.
Beautiful quilts, thanks for sharing!
I really like pictoral quilts too - but am too chicken to try to venture out to make one of my own. I definitely want to do one though! These are all so beautiful, and inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
