Here are some of the fabulous quilts I saw today. I went through the exhibits in about an hour, so I didn’t come close to seeing everything. I love being allowed to take pictures, because it allows me to look at everything in detail later, without blocking other people’s view for a long time at the actual show. And when the exhibit is no longer available, I can bring up my photos and get fresh inspiration.
I don’t often take pictures of the moon. When I got my current camera, I went outside, took a picture of the moon as it looked from where I was standing, then zoomed in to see what the camera could capture. It was pretty good! Although apparently I had trouble keeping it in frame and […]
The photo challenge set before us on September 20 was Spiders and Their Webs. I like to take pictures of spiders because they usually stay still long enough, and their behavior is interesting to watch.

In many areas […]

It was fun to revisit old travels for this second installment for the current Nature Photo Challenge: Wild Animals. Do you have any animal photographs in your archives? There’s still time […]

I love the tower of babel quilt, and the feathers one is outrageous! A picture popped up on FB earlier today of a former teacher of mine with her sister at a quilt conference – they’re in Houston, so I assume the conference was too. Is that the one you were at? Anyway I thought of you when I saw her smiling in front of a big fancy quilt 🙂
Yes. I’m grateful to live in the Houston area because it’s easy to get to the Quilt Festival, and what I save on transportation, I can spend on merchandise!
