Rain...snow...sun...What the heck?!

Overnight, we had a whopper of a wind and rain event, and now, the trees are all but bare. And, its cold!! We went straight to work and started quilting where we left off before the trip to Texas. The sun peeked out at mid-day and I thought it would clear off the clouds, but no dice. By late afternoon, it was gray and rainy again. It was perfect weather to get some sewing and quilting done, though...

I started with this strippy quilt, the fourth of the twelve from the same customer.

Panto: Woven wind

You can see the pattern better on the pieced back.

Mr Wazoo began with number five of the  12 quilts of Christmas

Panto: Splat

Ooh-la-la! Paris on the back
While I quilted the strippy quilt, I also worked on the tee shirt quilt I began in Texas for the woman we stayed with. It will be a gift for her granddaughter. There were so many calls and customer visits to drop off quilts, I still didn't get it all put together!! I have one more row to sew, and then, I will be pulling it all together and getting it into the quilting line.
Tomorrow, I have to go to the foot MD in Murphy, and that will pretty well blow the morning quilting plan.  I'm fairly certain the boot is staying on. My foot still hurts.

The second slide show from the Houston show is about Nature and Places. The art and modern quilts will be tomorrow, followed by more traditional quilts, then the special exhibits featuring the same pattern made in different ways. And to think I didn't even photograph all the quilts!! Yikes! Anyhoo, enjoy today's quilts!

Now, its time for bed and it is lightly snowing. Go figure. I sure hope it isn't icy tomorrow morning.
