About Me
I am a retired nurse who will be 65 on my next birthday. I made my 1st quilt in 2002 and was hooked. I am a member of 3 guilds and hold office in 2 of them. My 3rd guild is International Quilt Association and I am lucky enough to work each year at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I started off making pieced quilts and have just begun learning to needle turn applique. I also do miniature quilts and love to paper piece. If you are coming down to Houston for Festival send me an e-mail and maybe we can meet in person. My husband of 35 years and I live in the country 35 miles south of Houston. We raise goats, chickens and rabbits.
My e-mail is: aquiltersdream@hughes.net.

For Those of You Who Have Never Been to TEXAS!

A fellow Texan sent this to me and I thought it would be informational! CP from Texas

TEXAS HEAT
You notice your radiator is overheating, before you start your car.

* You no longer associate bridges over rivers with water.
* The thermometer in the lid of your Bar-B-Que Grill shows 150 degrees F, before you light it.
* You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.
* You hear the weather forecast for 105 degrees without flinching.
* You discover in July it only takes two fingers to drive yo… Continue

Almost Festival Time In Houston

Hi Everybody, I am just checking in to say Hi! I have been working at the office of Quilts, Inc. They put on the International Quilt Festival-Houston. We have been packing up last years quilts for return to the owners and make room for the new ones coming in for this year. Last years quilts toured the US and were seen at three other shows before coming home. It was great getting to see things up close and personal. I wish I was in the group that is accepting the new quilts! Talk at you la… Continue

Just a Hi!

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great Holiday. Ours was quiet since we are still under a burn ban and couldn't pop fireworks. I joined a new group the other day and I am getting so many e-mails every day that I don't have time to get my sewing done! Love all the communication with people who understand me perfectly, and we have never met. I wish my husband of almost 35 years knew me so well! Talk at you later. Carol

Heat, Heat, and More Heat!

Hello Everyone,
I am sure that most of you are suffering from the heat. In our area of Texas, we have have 100 degree of more temperatures for the last week, with more to come. Twice this week it hit 104 and set records for the hottest days on record. Last year our central A/C went out about this time and we had to have a new unit put outside, but did not have to replace the inside part of the unit.
Friday afternoon our unit went off again. The computer part of the unit (in our attic) fried and… Continue

Happy Birthday Carol! Hope it was a good one! I've been checking, but still don't see the gorgeous quilt you started at the Hamilton retreat. How's it coming. I can't wait to see it. I finished my Oopsie Daisy top I was working on, but it's only in line for quilting.
Manana, Iguana!

Tomorrow is your Birthday. Happy Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving. I love your choices of color. Do you know the theme song for having a dachhound? Sing along: Get a long little doggie, get a long little doggie, LA LALALA. Kiss Handra, the Farm Dog: Lonesome, Tuxedo Cat: Shadow, and Siamese Cat: Kiera, plus all the farm animals for me. And Happy Quilting.

Carol, I will be going to wedding in Dallas, Tx. in Oct. please tell me it will not be that hot! I was planning on wearing a fall dress, maybe I should get a sun dress. Sounds like I don't want to go to Tx. I live in Va. it has been hot but we got a lot of rain this year, so that means it is humid. It is suppose to cool down this week, sure hope so.
