The last day of Quilt Market. My impressions.
Market ended today. It's a bit like Christmas day…. you wait all year for it to come, then "bang" it's over all too quickly. I sat with friends tonight and we talked about the things we had seen over the past few days. Vintage is a style that has remained around for the past few…
Houston Quilt Market.
Oh my goodness I love technology…. a few minutes ago I was able to see our little granddaughter in her Grandpa's arms. I'm rather brain dead tonight, but I will do my best. Galloping Pony Studio, was one of my favorites, also follow the links and take a look at her blog. Bananafana I love…

I’m exhausted, but this time tomorrow I will be in Brisbane and I will be able to relax a little.I’m going to make a coffee and relax… then get up early tomorrow morning to finish packing. I played a little making quilted cards for class.
The Bayeux Tapestry – to Quilt.
I’m sharing the first part of the quilt simply because it is about to be shown in public for the first time. The rest of the quilt will remain personal until it is completed. This scene takes place in 1064 in Westminster Castle. Edward the Confessor sits on his throne and commands Harold, Earl of…
