Congratulations, Nancy, on your winning quilt! I don't know yet if I'm going to Houston this year, but if I do I will be sure and look for it. I've read all of the other interesting posts too but no time to comment on them. It seems I'm getting further and further behind on all that I need to do although I'm sure I'm making some progress.
My oldest DGD did her first embroidery over Labor Day weekend. It's at my other home so no picture, her initials top and bottom with a design in the center. Her 5 year old brother watched her do it and wanted one for him too. He chose a bright orange thread.
I finally finished my DBIL's quilt except for the label, which will get done tomorrow if he's going to get it for his b-day. It's not king size like he wanted but if he turns it sideways it would almost work for a king size bed. Next year he will get the king size one in a design that his wife chose.
The LQS that sells my patterns is closing at the end of next week. I picked up my samples yesterday. They date from 2006 thru 2012. I can't believe they kept selling all of these years. When I get time, possibly late next month, I will get them back on PatternSpot. For now I only have 4 weeks to get the retreat center ready for the 1st large group. There's still lots to do and I'm having to give in and ask for help. Then there's an estate sale to go to tomorrow for a quilter that's downsizing and a quilt show this weekend. I will be picking up some batting and bobbins and needles so when I get time to quilt again I will be ready.
