Loving Life in Houston

I am loving life in Houston! This is our first tour of duty here, which is somewhat surprising with our life in the oil patch, but we are thrilled and happy to be here!

I love the music, the food, the shopping, but most of all, I love my quilting experiences. I have met a wonderful group of ladies that are so talented. I became a member of the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston (http://www.qgghouston.org) and have been so inspired! The most important thing about belonging to such a group is exposure to so many quilting methods and design. I have been able to take classes from some real textile artists and put more emphasis on design, and art-type projects. I have taken classes from Susan Carlson, Cindy Needham, Dianne Hire, Colleen Wise, Noriko Endo, Rami Kim, Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison. How lucky is that? AND, I also bought a Pfaff Powerquilter 16.0. More about all of this in the future!

I worked a little bit in my garden yesterday, and couldn’t resist posting this rose!

Happy quilting….
