Quilting in Texas
Texas has its own quilting community, traditions, and shops. Texas is the only state to have the flags of six nations fly over it. For local quilters, the state's active guilds run annual or biennial shows that are smaller than the national circuit but often easier to attend.
Shopping Before (or Instead of) the Show
Vendor booths at Texas shows carry the same kinds of fabric you can shop online any time — handy if the show is months away or you can't make the trip.
