Texas!

We have been on our sojourn to the southwest USA to visit family and do a bit of sight seeing. I lived in Texas years ago, and have visited my folks there twice a year for 20 years. Mr Wazoo, on the other hand, has only been to Texas for the parent visits, and not to any other part but the Rio Grande Valley. 
We started out in Harlingen, where my Dad lives, and enjoyed a nice, but brief, visit. My friend Nancy took me to her quilt guild meeting, too! Let's take a look at the first few days of our trip.

The speaker was Laurie from Wisconsin and lately of Texas. She had a wonderful array of antique quilts that she shared and talked about.

Members walked the quilts through the audience so we could see and photograph the fabrics up close.

I love this blue work quilt with the set deco animals.

Laurie bought this as a top at an estate sale

She had it custom quilted by a longarmer.

This member brought three of her relative's crazy quilts. They were fabulous!

.

This one was about 24 inches square and is packed with beautiful stitching. The member later appliquéd the photos of her ancestors onto the piece

Here is one of the pictures.

Tomorrow, I'll post the pictures of the second part of the trip. I am just too tired to do it now. Besides, you are probably ready to move on. This was a really picture heavy post!
Good night from Fort Stockton, Texas!
