Houston Quilt Festival

Sister Trish made it to the Houston International Quilt Festival again this year....our 3rd trip.  This time we again planned classes, but not as intensely as last year.  We actually gave ourselves an opportunity to shop the vendors and see the quilts on display without having to run through it. 

We attended two classes together and each had one separately.  It was a great experience, as always; and we made a few purchases...as always! 

On the way home, we talked about how we each have piles of UFOs, as well as projects we want to do someday...so I took paper and pen and started writing it all down; and we challenged each other to get busy on our "bucket lists". 

So watch for lots of progress in the coming year!

Braniff Quilts Delivered....

Jim and I attended the Braniff Luncheon at the Frontiers of Flight Aviation Museum at Love Field in early October.  Both Braniff Quilts were delivered.....one to Don Maynard, Jim's personal friend and fellow pilot; the other to the Braniff International Silver Eagles (BISE) for a future raffle to benefit the organization.  Below is a photo of Don accepting his quilt.
and here's the raffle quilt as it was displayed during the luncheon.......
