Everything's Big in Texas


Houston Texas, International quilt festival a mecca for quilt lovers world wide.
The planes arrived full of women .....60,000 of them are expected to visit over the next 3 days.
So many like minded people in one place is awesome!



Convention centre is Huge





Mad Aussie women





We survived Halloween ...saw a lot of strange sights...thinking, do they really dress like that?....or.. Are they dressed up?
