Houston Quilt Market 2006
Open and ready to visit with quilting friends. Shop owners and exhibitors are excited to see what's new! At the end of a really fun first day we went to the MODA party at the Hilton - the line for the food was 552 people long and surprisingly the open bar didn't have a single person waiting. Quilters - FOOD - ALCOHOL - ???? We decided on the open bar - a little wine with a water bottle chaser and we were off for Goode Company Barbecue (mmmmmm delicious) always a highlight while here. Don't miss it if you are visiting Houston.

Nighty Night - the time changes here tonight so we get an extra hour of sleep (yeah!) before we go back for another day of FALL QUILT MARKET!

Hiking at Pinnacle Peak
Finally I remembered to take along a camera for my hike. The views along the trail are beautiful - enjoy the Sonoran Desert through this photo album. Join me for a Hike at Pinnacle Peak Park

Foldover Bag
This is the pattern cover for my new handbag. I decided to make up a new word to use for the title - FOLDOVER - seemed to describe it perfectly! Fold Over didn't look very good on the cover - maybe I should submit it to Webster. This long quiet spell (no blog posts) is due to writing the directions/insides for all four new patterns . . . usually I refer to this as working on "the dreaded insides" - perhaps that is because it always seems to be at last minute before quilt market. DEADLINES! who needs them? It is so easy to get distracted with other fun things - sewing, painting, creating collages, shopping - bet you can think of lots of things too! It's late here 11:30 pm but back to writing - ICK!
