This and a couple of others were finished. I gave one to Cheryl who works in Jeanie’s booth, it said ‘Bang Head Here” and had 3 layers of batting. Two others were put up for the mug rug swap including the one on the right here. I gave “homework” to my Teachers Pets Maggie and Frances – for them to finish at their leisure. These are a great way to practice machine quilting, they’re fun and can be done in a short amount of time. I’ll be making more samples and posting them over time.
Jeanie had this beautiful smile on her face in spite of being wicked tired. We had a bit of fun and thanks to the lovely quilter who offered to take our picture.
Texas is a big state, they do quilt shows on a grand scale. Tomorrow I will show just a few of the quilts I was able to see and take photos of. Weirdly my camera didn’t make it out very much. I know right, I take pictures of everything. Let’s just say my level of awe over the sheer enormity, my excitement for just being there, the sense of relief for getting there and the love of quilters just overwhelmed me. A couple of times I headed over to the Brother Sewing room and just chatted with Paula Reid when she wasn’t helping students.
This trip along with the Portland trip confirmed for me that I need to focus on some serious writing and work toward getting the book that I’ve been muddling around in my head and on my computer written and published. Part of me has been fearful that it wouldn’t be successful and I need to let that go and just make the commitment to get it done.
More coming soon!

It sounds like a wonderful show and I’m so glad you made it there. I love that picture of you and Jeanie in front of your quilt. I encourage you in your book project! I’m a good one to do that…my youngest son is a writer. LOL
So glad you made it! I will send you pictures of your class that I took for you!
