Santa's workshop

I have begun making some Ornaments and decorations for the Holidays.
Little preview of a mess just begun.

Festival overview

This is a gift I made for my teen grand daughter, matches her bathroom.

Quilt show:
My classes were good, not great!
I did not see any new ideas in patterns or decor.
Lots of advances in machines and technology for quilters were on display.
Need a big house for a lot of them.
Disappointed in the fabrics, mostly hand dyed and batik, not the pretty prints and French fabrics I enjoy.
I was so busy teaching I could not take a class myself, cannot comment on those.
I think overall, the show needs to attract our young people more, update trends and re-think projects for our busy lives.
This is one person's opinion.
Comment if you also attended the show, what are your thoughts?

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Up country visit to quaint Texas towns in the hill country.
I really enjoy this part of the state.
Much to see and do, vineyards and antiques.
Peaches and cattle ranches.

Back from Texas show

Not organized yet, but here is a picture of the wall art quilt I donated for a charity auction at the Quilt show.
Happy to say it went to a good home.
Hope the winner enjoys 'Whispers.'

New Zealand yes

I am teaching at present, my blog is on hold for a while.
To those who ask, I was born in Hamilton NZ
Strong ties to the Waikato river and those who dwell there.
