Here I am with two of our cover artists, Debbie Crane (left) whose purse books were featured on the cover of Cloth Paper Scissors #10 and Cheryl Prater (right) of "Sixtyopoly" fame.

Students proudly displaying their artwork from Cheryl's Micro-media Collage class. Fun was had by all!

Deb Silva, Alison Stillwell, and Judy Coates Perez crafting away in Virtual Studios.

Attendees enjoying many of Debbi Crane's handmade whimsical and collaged books.

We had the most determined students in our workshops. (This art-quilter-in-the-making stayed after class to put the finishing stitches on her fabric postcard.)

Kelli Perkins demonstrating her chunky embossed beads at Virtual Studios. (She'll have an article on these in an upcoming issue of Cloth Paper Scissors.)

Cheryl Prater (who never stops smiling) working away on her assemblages in Virtual Studios.

The Quilting Arts/ Cloth Paper Scissors booth was a happening place. Thanks to all who stopped by!

Geri Stevens and Barbara Delaney of Quilting Arts/ Cloth Paper Scissors keeping their energy up by pigging out (I mean eating) a chocolate mousse cake at Gibson's. (Okay, I admit I had some, too.)

Virginia Spiegel painting and monoprinting fabrics in Virtual Studios. A BIG THANKS goes to Virginia for being on hand and tirelessly painting fabric every day of the show!

Survivors of "Surviving the Runway" challenge. This event was pure hysteria, and participants kept me laughing for nearly two hours straight. I'm afraid I have to keep the particulars top secret because we'll be doing this again in Houston this fall (with a bit of a twist).

Hope to see many of you again in Houston at International Quilt Festival/Fall. If you are interested in being a vendor in the Make It Universty section for Houston, click here. (Make sure to let them know you are interested in vending in the Make It University section.)
