I use my computer a lot to assist me with the design of a quilt. I have a number of apps that change my image into a more defined pattern to create a fabric image. For instance, I want to thread paint this picture I took a few days ago. It will be for the…

An amazing day.
Images It was hot, in fact very hot, but that didn't deter the visitors to the Texas Quilt Museum for the presentation yesterday. Quite a few people came to La Grange from long distances. Houston, Austin and San Antonio amongst the many. There were quilters and people interested in the Bayeux Tapestry in…
My first visit to Bayeux France.
Nine years have passed and now I can finally say the completion of my version of the Bayeux Tapestry is imminent. It is sheer delight to be able to share my experiences with others. Its been a long journey, one filled with excitement, sometimes disappointment and wonder but always with enthusiasm. My life from…
Fabric shops visiting.
There are two reasons I visit a quilt shop. To buy fabric for a design already planned and printed or just to visit (generally its with a friend) In the past few days I have had such an opportunity. The Kaffe Fassett fabrics are from the Quilted Skein in La Grange Texas, A shop full…
My visit to the Texas Quilt Museum this evening
I'm going to review the past week in a future blog…. There is so much to share and so little time. However, I thought I would capture the day in this post. I woke to the view of a huge thunderstorm this morning, it was quite spectacular to watch as I lay in bed with…
The Seminar is over, but I saw the art of Grant Wood today.
My buddy Lisa left for New Mexico this morning, the hotel is very quiet with the departure of the team and it's the first time I've been on my own in 4 weeks, but I have another 3 weeks on the road and then I make the trek home. There are lots of little people…
Ricky Tims Super Seminar. Whoo hoo.
The past few days have been full of excitement and interest. Can you imagine a room with 320 participants, 4 presenters and lots of helpers all talking about their passion of the art of quilting. There is so much darn creativity in that room that it's fairly jumping. I would like to say that if…
A day to explore, with fabric, fun and fudge.
Images of Amana "I don't buy fabric in quilt shops" Alex and I announced that in Unison…. Then burst out laughing. We're not being rude, but to be honest I rarely get time to visit and shop, I buy for a purpose, the quilt is generally well in my mind before I purchase it,…
Corn and color.
Having fast internet is a bonus and we spend as much time as we can catching up on 'things that need to be done" at days end. Hobby Lobby, was our first port of call this morning, then Wally world for supplies. rolls, turkey, hummus and bean dip…. yum. We stopped under a shady tree…
