Sunny Texas?

I'm in Dallas for training for a couple days. The weatherman says that the sun is shining here, but I haven't seen it because I've been locked up in training sessions. We just finished for the night. I am ready to hit the sheets. Needless to say, I will not be able to visit any quilt shops in the local area. I was hoping that some were close by, but I didn't find any and our training schedule doesn't allow for it.

I'm returning home late Wednesday night, so on Thursday I will be heading to my quilter to pick-up the quilt she finished for me. I'm super excited because I want to get it done. I'm also looking forward to seeing what she did. I'm sure it looks great and I will post a picture as soon as I get the binding on.

When I left MI we had snow on the ground. Last night it was still snowing, so I'm not sure if it continued into today or not. Hopefully we won't have any weather delays getting into Detroit. I'm ready to get home and sleep in my own bed, even if it is filled with bed hogging dogs.

I gave my mom the table runner I completed for her before leaving for Texas. She was very happy with it. It makes me feel good that she likes it even though the quilting wasn't perfect on it. Practice makes perfect and I need alot of practice. I may need to do about 50 more table runners before I get the machine quilting thing down. I've been reading several posts from my Yahoo groups about people taking machine quilting classes. I'm thinking about finding one local and trying it out. I think it would help me immensely.

Off to bed, we start at 7:30 CST tomorrow morning. Yoohoo!!
