Famous People Sightings at Houston Quilt Market

Here are a few of the pictures I took at Quilt Market in Houston last week. It's always exciting to meet the people you often only see in the magazines!

Marie Osmond was showing her new fabric designs.

Eleanor Burns was dressed as "Rosie the Riveter" to promote her "Victory Quilts" book.

Eleanor's son Orion forgot to bring the projector for the presentation, so here he is, holding up the laptop so everyone could see the screen. Sorry, Orion, it didn't quite work - there were 150 people in the room - but everyone enjoyed the show anyway!
