Cute New Pattern and Houston Quilt Festival Update

Well, just look at this cute little gem!  This little mug rug is a new design by Kathy Brown that is in the latest McCall's Quilting magazine issue (Nov/Dec) that should be hitting your mailboxes and newstands soon!  I just love cute little snowmen on quilts, pennyrugs and mug rugs - just not the real thing - in my yard!   I'm not ready for the white stuff to be coming and I just read on  another blog where the dreaded "white stuff" made an appearance yesterday! Ugggg

And in other exciting news:

Are you ready for this?  The International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas is coming really soon!  Above is the George R Brown convention center where thousands of quilters will be flooding into November 4 - 7!  It's coming really quickly!  You can read more about it and all the shows info here:

International Quilt Festival

Would you just not love to come be an exciting part of the show and dig through everone's booth of quilting goodies!

We'll be there with bells on in the 2000 aisle - booths 2013 - 2019 to be exact.  And this year we have a new addition to our little workforce.

My husband Bob is coming with me!  Yeah Bob!  It's going to be so nice not making that long drive to Texas and back home by myself.  It'll be nice to spend 10 days together working at the quilt show, driving the hundreds of miles to get there and back home when it's over and unloading and re-loading the trailer together!

Be sure you stop by and say hi if you are going to the show!  And be gentle on dear Bob - we have to break him in gently - he's a newbie to helping out at the quilt shows!

Have a great weekend my quiltie friends!
