Surviving the Big Booth Set Up with a Tea Bird

Do you know this building? It's where every quilter wants to be right now. It's the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston TX and the location of the huge International Quilt Market. Fortunately, they haven't moved the building on us so Frieda and I were able to find it yesterday and begin the big booth set up.

Here is Frieda happily contemplating opening our shipped boxes and silently fretting that she forgot something. She did. The cutter to open the boxes.

Hours later. Here I am happily contemplating dinner and a chair. You'll be relieved to know we found the box cutter.
 
Another quilt pattern being introduced at Market is Tea Bird,  a combination of  two wonders of the world, tea and birds. Tea Bird is like getting two amazing things for the price of one. What a deal!

Here's our little Tea Bird contemplating tea. It's a Zen like moment captured in quilt time.
