Dallas!

Howdy!  Back from Dallas with a full report.
Thank you to all the friendly and talented ladies in Dallas for such a welcoming visit, especially my hostesses Pat and Sue for all the rides and wonderful dinners.  They introduced me to Fried Green Tomatoes - yum!

Hex Vex workshop (notice those sliding design walls!)

 I always love to see what fabrics students choose.

 Look at Sue's pre-pieced hexie. It would make a perfect spring or Easter table runner.

wee - that bee block!

 After me own heart Pat.

My two workshops were held at the Best Little Retreat Center in Texas.  Owner Pam (she works with her husband, Chuck) they are very warm and generous and passionate about quilters adn quilting.

Here is the main workroom (not my class).  Each student gets 2 tables. with a center outlet station.  It is fabulous!


They have a kitchen

A cute lounge area where I got to watch The Kentucky Derby.  (no comment)

Just down the way is a quilt shop, how handy!

How cute is this display at the quilt shop? 

My House Party Workshop Group!

Here are some of the builds

Notice the tornado roof :)

this one is fun.

 As you can see Ragi, who had never done this, really took to the process.

It was Nancy's Birthday and her Mom brought balloons and delicious baby bundt cakes for us.  So fun.

 These are nancy's blocks.  Alice's tower is so charming!

I did a little stitching at 20,000 feet.  

I spent 12 1/2 hours at the Dallas airport on Sunday due to multiple delays and missed connections.  But I still love you Texas.

I treated myself to a bagel- big carb cheat for me! and later a great dinner and a glass of contentment.

 Pineapple update.  This is how it looked monday.

Each round takes this long.  I'm usually not a counter, but I was curious.

Here is how it looks this morning.   My goal is to finish them by 5pm tomorrow. 

Okay, that is more than enough for one post.
