Jo Leichte I just spent two days in Houston with Quilts, Inc., at the photo shoot for the 2008 BERNINA Fashion Show. Wow!!! Incredibly beautiful and creative wearable art, and a great group of people to work with :) Each year a number of designers are asked to participate in the BERNINA Fashion Show, which debuts at the International Quilt Festival in Houston (October 30-November 2, 2008). In addition, two entries from the Bernina University Fashion Show are included. The garments are also modeled at the festivals in Rosemont, IL (April 17-19, 2009), and Long Beach, CA (July 24-26, 2009). If you have a chance to see these amazing garments, check them out! If you can't get to the shows, photos will be posted at http://www.berninausa.com/home.jsp after the show, and will also be printed in Issue #28 of Through The Needle.

I can't show you any of the garments yet in this blog - you'll have to wait until after the show in November to see my candids - but here are a few hair & makeup shots of three of our gorgeous models. The photo shoot was held at the Hyatt Regency in Houston, in a huge suite that I shared with Marcia Barker from Quilts, Inc. At night we slept with racks full of garments in our rooms; during the day her room became the hair & makeup station (and Olympics viewing station), while mine was the dressing room. It was a little crazy - imagine waking up in the middle of the night to find a huge crinoline standing beside your bed! - but I had a blast :)

Watch this blog and http://www.berninausa.com/home.jsp for more information on the BERNINA Fashion Show in November!

Don't you love this shirt?!
