Good Morning

"And the beauty of this life is to be able to sew dreams, embroider histories and untie the knots of our days." 

By Cidinha Araujo. 

This was sent to me and I really enjoyed it. 

Some words to live by, I think.

UT quilt

Directedly from my living room design floor a quilt that will be a gift to a special freshman at The University of Texas at Austin. It is a Twin size quilt that hopefully will keep her warm while studying.

H&h Houston 2026

The h&h show for the textile industry was held in Houston for the first time in the Fall of 2026. 

The Quilt Guild of the Greater Houston was invited to have a booth; and this is the booth almost ready for opening day. 

It was a great opportunity to show what a group of talented textile artists can do to the improvement of our city. The guild of almost 300 has provided 21,000 hours of community services this year. These are some of the quilts that won a ribbon in the 2025 show. The next show will be on the last weekend of January 2027. 

Which Witch

I have wanted to stitch this chart for a long time. Nothing like the now to start it. I am making the small 4 pictured on the right corner; but I will be changing things around. 

September block for the Sew Along

The September block for the 2026 mystery sew along running by "A Quilting Life" blog  \o/. Only 3 more blocks to go plus the setting of the blocks to complete the quilt top.

I made this month block with the suggested alternate center. It is a 6 inches Ohio Star block. 

Hermann Park Asian Garden.

It has been extremely hot around here this summer. Areas like this one are a relief to the body and soul.
