Well, one thing is certain, my stash is getting a home…finally. I have not only unpacked 10 boxes of fabric and put it on the shelves I also took the boxes to the curb for pickup. The floor is visible in my studio. It isn’t complete but it is getting to look more like the place where I work.

The weather here is still pretty hot, but it isn’t 100 degrees any more. I am looking forward to cooler days. The nights have started cooling off already… by that I mean it might be in the 60’s at night here. That makes my studio much cooler to work in. Which is a very good thing.

Since John’s schedule and my schedule have been pretty busy this year we are both slammed right now getting ready for Houston Quilt Festival. Because of this he has sent me parts of a kit and then other parts from another kit and then back to the first one. It has been very interesting getting the parts this way. Working on two quilts at the same time is also interesting. I have never done it this way before. It is a good thing that the fabrics are so different in the two quilts.

At the same time I got fabric from Alexander Henry Fabrics. I make quilts for them to use in the booth when they are at Quilt Market. I haven’t made a quilt for them in a few years so I didn’t want to turn them down when they asked. I am working on that quilt as well…so if there are three quilts in Houston with the same mixture of fabrics it is because I lost my place while working.

Also…as a reminder…the Escape to Charleston, SC  February 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 is going to be a blast. If you are interested you should email me and ask for details. I would love to have you join us. The house is beautiful, the quilt kit will be fantastic and you will have great food, meet wonderful new friends and see Charleston, too. There are still available spots…all the rooms have private baths and you are welcome to bring a roommate (female).

Back I go to the Studio…all those parts are calling me.
