It's Back!!

We got a WalMart ad today and it said.....drum roll, please.....fabric is back in 2,000 WalMart store (by popular demand!) Thank you, Walmart. I surely hope that at least one of the nearby Walmarts are included in the 2,000 stores. I have plenty of places to purchase fabric but sometimes my budget is more comfortable with WalMart prices.

I just finished the quilting on a gift baby quilt -- I love the colors in it! I shopped my own stash for the fabric, first, and then purchased one more piece for the front and a piece for the back. It is ready be trimmed, squared, and then I'll sew on the binding. Question: Has anyone used two different fabrics for binding? I'm thinking two pieces sewn together -- one color for one side and another color for the other. Think that will work? You quick answer would be greatly appreciated.

Quilt Guild of Greater Houston -- 2011

A friend and I attended this quilt show today -- some really nice quilts were shown. We both liked the first two I've pictured here because they used scraps.

Texas is burning!

Fires in our area -- smoke was very bad this morning. Some schools are closed, many have cancelled outside activities. Hundreds of homes have burned. Please pray for Texas! We need rain!!!
