Alex, Gail Thomas, Annette Hendricks, Helen Godden, and Ricky 

During our time in Houston many stopped by The Quilt Show booth to say hello and to snap a photo with Alex and Ricky.  It was also great meeting so many of our TQS members in person.  One afternoon the “Three Sisters” stopped by to visit.  We were able to grab a quick photo of these three incredible artists.  Just a few days prior they won first place in the group category for their collaborative work on their quilt “The Three Sisters”. 

The story of their meeting and collaboration on this quilt is fascinating in itself.  Who would have thought that three women from different countries who met in Houston two years ago would, during one long night in a hotel room, design a quilt that would travel back and forth across the world?  Each woman added her own artistry to the piece before sending it on.  To read the complete story about this amazing quilt click here.
