Did not see this at these particular shows but the newest craze is the micro chip that you can sew right into a quilt and you activate it with your smart phone and it will talk to you. You can give the quilt info, tell a bedtime story, sing a song...

The wave of the future.

I went to Market and Festival as well... Market was absolutely incredible, and I definitely learned alot about where designers and manufacturers will be heading in the next year! I was actually a little dissapointed in Festival. While I definitely tend to be drawn to the more modern fabrics, I felt like there really wasnt very much of even the more traditional prints. Lots of wool, dark colors, and accessory type stuff... ah well, there's always next year :-)

The funniest group of quilts at the Houston show were the Cow quilts. They were so funny. Here is a glimpse of what I'm talking about: http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/4549 (these are not the exact ones)
