Texas Quilt Museum from Humble Quilts

The Texas Quilt Museum was open on the Monday before the quilt show. We were the only ones there and we spent several hours gazing at these lovelies!

About the exhibit:

Princess Feathers and Feathered Stars is partially sponsored by the Lucille Gaebler Klein Fund, and will feature 45 incredible quilts drawn from the International Quilt Festival Collection, as well as the private collections from Museum co-founders Karey Bresenhan and Nancy O’Bryant in Galleries I and II.

“Quilters have long associated feathers with the 19th and 20th centuries,” says Museum Curator Vicki Mangum.

“The earliest use of the Princess ...

Driving to Montana (Deer Lodge, MT) from QuiltinCats

Before we left Texas in early May, we spent a week in Bridgeport, TX. Below is a picture of Weatherford's county courthouse. I never get tired of seeing this building.

We got a nice site, but it was not full hook-ups. Still, the cats enjoyed their time outdoors and we found the quiet spot away from campers celebrating the lockdown lift.

Our biggest surprise upon arriving was seeing how high the lake was in comparison to our last visits. The first time we came here, the lake was a good 20 feet below this dock (bottom right). Now, the ...

Texas Holding Pattern (Whitney, TX) from QuiltinCats

We have been very fortunate with timing and our Thousand Trail RV park membership. In March, we managed to get a very nice shady site with full hook-ups and some privacy at Lake Whitney TT RV park. We were lucky to get a site with sewer and 50 amp since there are not that many in this park, so we can use our own washer/dryer instead of the park's laundry room.

Under our contract agreement, we can only stay for three weeks at a time in one park. Our plans were to move on to Bay Landing then ...

Moving, a Journey from Terificreations's Weblog

I’ve started walking around the hotel parking lot while listening to Pokey Bolton’s Instagram conversations with quilting peeps. Hotel parking lot you say? Why yes. The physical move from NY to TX is about 1/2 complete. We arrived in Texas on Thursday evening after four days on the road. While at one hotel I’d made… Continue reading Moving, a Journey

Worldwide Quilting Day! (Whitney, TX) 21 march from QuiltinCats

March 19 was the first day of Spring and with Spring comes hope.

I am hoping I am finding you and your family members doing well during these uncertain times.

Thanks to social media, I have many quilting friends living around the world. So today, I thought I would take a break from all the news to celebrate Worldwide Quilting Day on March 21. Quilt Alliance is celebrating National Quilting Day through their Facebook page. They are asking for your stories and pictures.

Back On The Road Again (Conroe, TX) from QuiltinCats

We have been back into our home on January 2. I am so happy to be back home and back in a campground. So Happy!...that I have been staying busy with walks, enjoying my kitchen, making up for lost outdoor cat time, and of course, quilt projects.

I have to admit that living in the apartment for a couple of weeks wasn't too bad. All three cats staked out their sleeping areas while Dan and I tried to form some kind of routine in our temporary quarters. The hardest part was the traffic noise from the highway (only ...

Houston House Building (Airbnb) – 2014 Houston International Quilt Market

At night, looking out over a flat, glittering city. Feeling oddly settled now that I know my way around this part of Houston from walking miles and miles of circles through it every day.

Knowing this building isn’t going to crumble in an earthquake is strange. I’m on the 28th floor and feel defiantly secure. At home I’m in a century-old house near an infamous fault line prone to shifting at any time. As I flew home from my last trip to the Midwest the flight attendants seated ...
