Bird Dance Blocks 1 - 27 and Molly

I finished stitching Bird Dance blocks 25, 26, 27. I have begun to stitch blocks 28, 29 and 30 which are the final birds. I received the border for the quilt last week which has 96 circles to stitch along a vine. Just cutting 96 1" circles seems overwhelming.

I continue to get my house organized after my remodel. Molly had the difficult job of testing out my new sectional. We all should have such a difficult life.

Houston Quilt Show

I am finally getting caught up after my trip to the Houston Quilt Show. I flew to Houston on Wednesday, October 30 with my quilting buddy from Henderson Nevada. Can you imagine about a thousand quilt vendors in one place plus hundreds of spectacular award winning quilts, the Houston Quilt Show is simply overwhelming. I became fascinated with the World of Mother’s Dream quilts by Reiko Kato. The quilts are exquisitely hand appliquéd and so charming.
This is one of Reiko Kato's quilts from the show.
