Since your are wondering about the quilt....google "crown royal quilts" and you will get an eye full. I even found a chair that was re-done with crown royal bags. Just the thought of it was scarry but the chair didn't look that bad. Anyway, it's a struggle to know what to do. Each bag is different..... in size, in where the gold stitching is, and the Crown Royal words are all over the place. I ended up making a template 4-1/4" by 5-1/2" to get the most out of the bag. I drew a rectangle on the t…

OMG! I can walk into my sewing room. Can you believe it? With all the last minute sewing/quilting and packing and unpacking you can imagine how awful that room looked. Plus it’s right off the garage so it’s a great “dump” room for others. The last company I had in that room had to walk sideways to get in. I even frisked her to make sure she didn’t have a camera or cell phone on her to record my self made disaster. Well, as of last night, I have scrub’d every bit of wood, I even moved my desktop…

Hello everyone! I’ve just spent the last hour reading all the past news I’ve missed. It’s been one of those weeks and I am soooo looking forward to things getting back to normal. We had to empty out the motor home so it could go into the shop for a new roof. ($7000) Good thing we had insurance or I would have opted for a convertible motor home. I bet it took 200 trips in and out of that darned thing to empty it out. We had it set up so that we could just climb in and take off so that meant we ha…

Well, we have finally arrived home and what a joy it is. For some reason the last few days on the road seemed really hard. We drove some extra miles each day and ended up cutting out 2 days of driving. My parents were sure glad to see us home. I have some great pictures to share.... later. We took a shortcut in our haste to get home and ended up on a mountain pass 10,000 feet high with lava beds and no place to turn around. It was beautiful but scarry with only a 3' shoulder between us and the g…

Leaving Kerrville Texas
Woke this morning feeling much better. Actually felt good enough to have breakfast. It’s amazing how Ny-Quil makes you sleep. This morning we left Kerrville TX and plan to go as far as Lubbock TX. So far it’s been smooth sailing as nothing drastic has happened. We even lucked…

Well, it’s Monday and we left Houston this morning after packing up the motor home and returning the rental van. Market and Festival is really something. If you EVER have a chance to go to Festival, you won’t be sorry. It is truly something you think you know but it’s that and more. One hour before the doo…

Friends, I haven't forgotten to post a blog....I've just been to tired to think. Today is Saturday and my booth has been bombarded with quilters. Everyone has been so patient and friendly that we can't help but have a great time. I get some time off about 5:30 each day and sneak over to the quilt show and take a few photos. When we get packed up and head for home I'll get some of the photos uploaded and share them with you. They are amazing!!!!!!
I have had the great honor to meet several of our…

Wow, Didn't know a body could get this tired. My booth neighbors and I were just talking while closing up last night howhard it is to say the same things over and over again and to be nice ALL day. I was joking that we needed out hubbies around so we could stick our tounges out at them in hopes it would make us feel better. My face hurts from smiling. Okay...that's enough on the pitty party stuff. Had a great day. Didn't see too many famous people. Sally Schneider, author, editor and all around…

Okay---yes, it's overwhelming. Today was absolutlely crazy. First thing in the morning, everyone is running here and there doing the last minute touches to their booths before the doors open. Oh, the store owners were gathered out by the door even 1/2 hour before opening---kinda reminded me of the old days w…

Well, I've been up since 4:30 with a knot in my stomach. Just a little nervous I guess. Decided to get on the blog to kill some time and saw BJ's dessert. Why can't we have smell and taste computers. Now my mouth is watering to match my knot. Oh well, I'm a big girl and I'll get over it. But BJ...is there enough chocolate on that thing? It looks to me like it needs a little hot fudge poured on top.
Today Market starts and I'm ready as I know how to be. You know how you have the creepy feeling th…
