Omigosh!

Binding, binding and more binding.  Seems like it is taking me forever to get the binding sewn down on this quilt.  And I have to do a sleeve.  But the label is on!!!

I have been busy with customer quilts.  Our guild donation quilt, others made the blocks, 16 inch, so 12 blocks.  I added the sashing and borders and have to quilt it.  Someone else will need to do the binding. hint, hint.

Also I am spring registrar for Quilters of SC spring meeting.  So that has had me busy.  We need to stuff envelopes and hopefully get them mailed by the end of the week.

Oh, and Bonnies mystery quilt!!  trying to work that in too.

off to bed  before I poop out right here.

Happy Quilting,

Houston

How about some more pictures from Houston.  These are some of my favorites. I met Alex Anderson, saw Ricky Tims and Kaffe Fassett and many other quilt ccelebrities.  What fun!!!

Houston

For those of you that dont know.  We had to shorten our trip.  After the quilt show we went to Barstrop to visit Diana and her kids, our niece.  Her husband is in Afghanistan, so it was fun to visit.  Her mom had a birthday and we really surprised her.

We got to Austin and took the tour of the State Capital building.   It was great.  Any way, I had gotten a scratchy throat and sneezing.  Wayne decided we should come  home, so we did.  Missed seeing San Antonio.  Will have to go back another time.

Let me show you a little more from my trip to Quilt festival.  I met Karen Overton, whom I have been blogging with.  What great fun.  Yes, I was tired.. It was the end of the day.  I dont know how Karen stayed so perky.  Karen is a A-1 longarm dealer and maned, or is that womaned, the booth at Quilt Festival.  It was great to finally meet Karen.  While I was at the A-1 booth, I met Jamie Wallden, bought his CD and had him autograph it.  Great fun.

Omigosh!

I loaded the Omigosh quilt on the longarm today.  Got about 1/3 quilted.  Yeah!!!  You get pictures when it is finished.  Will be a great unveiling. LOL

Happy Quilting, Vicki
