Quilt Festival 2007

Quilt Festival Houston, Texas 2007 is over. What a great time and such a wonderful experience. There are no words for how amazing some quilts were. The time and effort put into creating such a piece of art was breathtaking. There were many quilts that had hotfix crystals embellished on them. The shine and sparkle that come from the crystals make the quilt have an extra spark and look that make it look much more beautiful and special. Now I really want to put crystals on everything.

At Quilt Festival, I attended the Bernina Fashion Show. Diamond Odyssey, the 2007 edition of the Bernina Fashion Show, was a colorful runway show of exquisite design, mastery of the sewing arts, and unique embellishments. Kandi Corp congratulates Starr Hagenbring and Judith Baer, winners of the Crème de la Crème and Viewers Choice awards, respectively. For the fifth year in a row, both awards were given to designers who incorporated Kandi embellishments in their garments. For 2007, over 2/3 of the designers in the Bernina Fashion Show selected Kandi embellishments for the perfect finish to their runway entries. Kandi Corp has been selected to provide high fashion embellishments to the designers selected for the 2008 Bernina Fashion Show, Rendezvous. Looking forward to next year!
