Promised Pictures

Hey, yesterday our temp didn't make it to 100, which means we didn't break the 1980 record, but today it is back to 102.  Weatherman just said we may have a 30% chance of rain tonight; sure hope he's right!  We do have some clouds at least!

I'm feeling much better, but still taking life slow and easy for a few more days.  I can hardly believe it is Friday afternoon, and I've not started my car since last Monday!  I'm about to get cabin fever!  I need to get to a quilt store for some relief! *wink*  (Maybe next week!)  I have gotten the church quilt binding finished, and I'm waiting for word to add a hanging sleeve; I'm sure it will be needed.  I'll post that quilt another time.

A few weeks ago, I attended the quilt show at Midlothian, Texas, for a couple of hours (relief from tutoring, remember?).  I finally got the pictures into the computer, and I'm going to post several, with very little if any comment.  They always have a wonderful show, and certainly this year was no exception!  I'm sorry I cannot give credit to the makers, but I can say each of them did extraordinary work!  Be sure to double-click each picture to see their gorgeous quilting!  I wish I could show all the pictures I took, but these are my favorites.

I think the above quilt was Best of Show, and someone told me the maker's sister won the next highest in the show with her red/white quilt in the next picture.   














Only in Texas would a bull be told to "Sit Quietly and Smell the Flowers!"

Hope you enjoyed the show!   I certainly did!

  1. I hope you are not too disappointed that the old record was not broken! There is always next year. The quilts are all beautiful. My favorite is definitely the Iris quilt. I'm glad you are feeling better. You need to take care of yourself!

  4. I hate that I had to miss the Midlothian quilt show this year! The first time I've missed it in ages. Those are some lovely quilts! Glad you are getting your strength back, slowly, but surely.

  7. Sit quietly and smell the flowers...too funny! What a great batch of quilts. I'm glad you got a bit of rain - hopefully it will lead to a bit more some cooler temperatures soon.
