Quilt Festival 2009: My Final Round-up

As I showed already here, the quilts were fabulous at Festival. But, of course, the shopping was also fantastic and I did my bit to help the world economy!  And I really mean world — look at these great fabrics I picked up at a vendor that came from Japan: They are designed by Keiko [...]

Ten on Tuesday

1.  Julia said “love you” for the first time last week!  Little stinker, though, it was to her Daddy instead of to me! 2.  Elena will become instant best friends with any other girl wearing a princess costume.  Lucky for her, we’ve been to a couple Halloween parties so far and there have been other [...]

Ten on Tuesday: Houston International Quilt Festival edition

I must say that one of my biggest disappointments of blog-coverage of Quilt Market and Quilt Festival is that they leave out the whole “Quilt” aspect of it all.  You will see tons of pictures of the various booths, but none of the quilts hanging up just a few rows down the convention center.  I [...]

Halloween Costume Fun

Time for the Halloween costumes to continue! For the second time now, I was lucky enough to get invited to and be able to attend a Halloween fundraiser.  I just had to donate some money and, in return, I received some great pictures of my daughters! The cause this year was MD Anderson — a [...]

Ten on Tuesday

Don’t know if I’ll keep this up every Tuesday, but it at least works today because I haven’t shared much about my girls lately and it’s about time! 1.  Julia is starting to finally put two-word phrases together!  YAY!  She’s been close for a while, but wouldn’t really do it.  Instead, she needed verification after [...]

Scratching Off the To Do List

Back when I first started this blog (I know, as if that was years ago), I posted about a Traveling Car Playmat that I made for a little boy’s birthday.  I had intended to immediately get busy and finish up the other three I had fabric for right away, but, um, yeah. BUT, they are [...]

Blogger’s Quilt Festival!

Here I put a post up this morning already, and totally forgot it is the start of the Online Quilt Festival hosted by Park City Girl!  Two posts from me in one day is simply unheard of! Welcome to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival attendees! Anyway, so off I went scrounging through my pictures to see [...]

Chisholm Trail Quilt Show

This past weekend I attended the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild’s Quilt Show in Round Rock, Texas. It is a small show, but still fun and still some awesome quilts to look at! Here are some of my favorites, with a picture of the description and name provided in the next picture (click to see bigger!). [...]

Pregnant Skeleton Halloween Costume

It’s October!  That means I can share Halloween costumes finally! I’ll first share an original of mine, although I must admit I saw the idea many years ago on the grand Internet.  I never could find the example again when I searched for it though. (SORRY EVERYBODY — JUST FOUND MY BROKEN PICTURE LINK.  THIS [...]

Stash Enhancement

Courtesy of Raney House Quilts! A couple weeks ago I hit 8 different quilt shops in the area for the Fall Frolic Shop Hop. I lucked out and hit the far north shop on the 1st day, and the 2nd day the freeway was closed just a couple miles before that shop due to high [...]
