I'm still thinking about Spring Quilt Market in Kansas City, MO...a wonderful town, by the way...and I wanted to share a photo from my booth neighbor Joyce.  She got this from a fabric company whose booth was decorated like a Barnyard.  Very fun!

Joyce's Chicken

So we are back at home here in Texas from Spring Quilt Market.  I will say I enjoyed Kansas City!!  Everyone we met were so helpful and kind.  Thanks all! 

I want to share some photos of our booth and neighbors booths with you.  All the neighbors gave their permission to share their booth with you.  I'll label the photos in case you like their style, you will be able to locate them.

This is me in our Booth.  Everyone loved our Cliffsbear for President, and they had a comment or two...

I can't believe there is only one more day of Spring Quilt Market.  What a whirlwind this has been.  It seems I always get on a row with wonderful people,  maybe all Quilters are wonderful....... So here a picture of our new quilt -- Cliffsbear For President.  Soon I'll post photos of the booth.  Until then, Happy Quilting from Kansas City, MO.

Sorry about the Black Boxes where pictures are suppose to be.  We upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista.  Can you say we have a love hate relationship with our electronics?  It will take some time to get the photos back up and running.  In the meantime, we are getting ready for Quilt Market in Kansas City Missouri.  Excited because this is the first Spring Market since Cliff's accident.  I can't wait to see what God will do.  You can go to our website to see the new quilt....hint: Vote for Cliffsbear!

By the way, Check out Matty Moose pulling Santa's Sleigh!

My C.E.O.

The longer I'm married the more I appreciate this man.  He has helped me in everything I do.  He has made 4 trips to Office Max for printing supplies this week.  Here he is hanging the new quilt for the photo shoot.  'The Bear Dump' and 'One Christ-Moose Eve' make their debut at Fall Quilt Market here in Houston October 29-31.  Come and see us at Booth 1418.  This man will be there too, he's my very own Cliffsbear!

By the way C.E.O. stands for Carries Everything Out!

Quilting Friends

While looking for a particular photo, I ran across photos of my Quilting Friends on retreat.  We were in the home of one of the members in Big Bear, California.  Debbie always made us feel special in her home.  We would find goodies on our beds at night, a fat quarter or something sweet to satisfy our cravings.  She would allow us to invade her home and in 3 days make or finish as many projects as we possibly could.  I seemed to talk more than sew....I loved the fellowship.  One member would make more than I could make in 3 months.  Ahhhhh the memories.  I can almost smell the pine trees now.  Let me share some photos with you.

The Wednesday Girls

Our stuff is everywhere!!



The chain that reached across the room

More Quilt Tops



I am a bit melancholy because this weekend there is a big Quilt Festival in Long Beach and I know they are all going to be there.  So a shout out to my Wednesday Girls....Thanks for the Memories!!

Quilt Guild of Greater Houston

The meeting at the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston were Fabulous!!!  We had so much fun talking about my favorite subject...Cliffsbear and Matty Moose.  I was certain that the quilters of Texas were not interested in Bears and Moose until I met these ladies and gentlemen.  

Show and Tell

Now it's my turn

 The Original Cliffsbear Quilt

'Matty Takes a Wife' quilt. 

As I am describing this quilt and telling the story about the forest animals so excited that they wanted to give the couple a moonlight wedding. They decorated the trees with sparkly netting and if you listen real closely you can hear them singing....By the light of the silvery Moose! As I was saying this the Guild started singing with me. What a Hoot. We all laughed!!!

Great time, Thanks all!!
