The International Quilt Festival
The International Quilt Festival is the largest annual quilt show in the U.S. and takes place each fall in Houston. Pictured: "Hilda's Patches/Debbie's Borders" by Bellaire resident Deborah C. Williams, quilted by Nancy Gennaro. The description reads: "This quilt top was discovered in Mother's cedar chest. Dad said, 'Toss.' My sister and I recognized some of the fabric from clothes our Great-Aunt Hilda made us. Hilda had hand-pieced the top. I added the borders and back. After 50-plus years, it is a quilt I treasure."
