    Our Texas adventure, Part 6

    On Monday, October 20, we had a relaxing day off, and we had a little extra time to prepare for Tuesday night’s lecture for Quilt Guild of Greater Houston. I had the privilege of presenting my People and Portraits lecture, which is one of my favorites. In it, I cram in as much eye candy…

    Sunday, October 19, we packed the car and headed south again. On the way, we had the great pleasure of meeting the woman who commissioned Acceptance, which is a duplicate of Surrender.

    Sweet hubby and I just got back from a really wonderful road trip to Houston and back, and I’d love to share it with you. We started out on our two-day drive on Tuesday, October 14. Sweet hubby loves driving cross country. Weird, huh? But, it was enjoyable enough. It’s a great time of year…

    These awareness magnets are one of the new projects that I have been helping DD#2 with. She designed the car magnets, and I created them in Photoshop.

    QuiltTrends workshop

    October is in full swing here in Ohio. Temperatures are plunging and it makes me shiver just thinking about the upcoming winter. Where did my wonderful 80 degree weather go? The past several years October has also been a busy teaching month for me, and this year will be no different. Last Saturday I drove…
