Geez it's been a while since I last posted. I've been babysitting the Quilted Crow's shop while they're off at Quilt Market in Houston and I've had some company too. My lovely friend Valerie
flew over from South Australia especially to keep me company and geez we stitched up a storm!
That's me on the left.

That's me on the left.We always have to stitch the same project when we get together and after last year's mammoth quilt effort we decided small and simple was better, especially because I had to serve customers too. So this year we started with Rosalie Quinlan hearts, mine is the pink one
Followed by Tilda Cats, you guessed it, mine is the pink one
Followed by some Beehive pincushions and an ornament 
Followed by Tilda Cats, you guessed it, mine is the pink oneFollowed by some Beehive pincushions and an ornament and because we loved making cats so much we made a few Kerry Gillespie kitties. I made two blacks and Valerie made two whites and we swapped one. 
Now I should also mention Valerie whipped up two bags, very pretty and I did a bit of secret squirrel stuff.
Next post will either be pics of the lovely pressies Valerie gave me or the shop, not sure yet, I'll see how I feel.
I also had a suprise call from Sandy from Embroideroo which was lovely, always nice to chat in real life and I also got some mail, so definitely more posts coming.

Anyway Valerie left this afternoon, very sad to see her go as she's always lots of fun but Mum's arrived so I have a new stitching partner to keep me company for the next two days.
Hugs for now!

Wow! People are going to the Houston Show all the way from Tasmania. That's amazing. And to think, my husband and I are just going to drive down there from Fort Worth on Saturday and stay the night. Is Quilted Crow going to have a booth for the general show or did they just go to purchase at market? I'll have to look for them, just in case. 8-)
All the best,
Susan
