Hello April:)

And the showers have arrived:) SO glad for that!!! The peonies and grass are thirsty! We have been lucky and didn't get the storms some others got yesterday. In fact were in Lockhart and it only really  rained 1 time but on the way back there was a lot of standing water. SO glad we didn't have to drive through too much bad stuff!!

Talking about Lockhart... found a sweet small quilt shop named Calico Crossing... the owner was SO sweet and we talked Texas traveling, collecting sewing machines and the best BBQ place in town... which is Chisholm Trail BBQ. She said it was where the locals ate and it was VERY good!!! And the price was less than we are normal paying:) Will definitely be going back if we are that way:) The other quilt shop Simple Sewing Solutions had 1000+ bolts:)

The main reason we were there was another dance competition:) Granddaughters group won a Platinum Award and a First Place Trophy:) There was improvement since the last competition:)
The neatest group was from Austin and the Pivot Studios. 2 of the gals were in wheelchairs... one because she had broken her foot. All were extremely exceptional in their dancing:) They were the Spotlight dancers:) They all got medals and a trophy:) Great group of gals!!! We ran into the owner of the studio when we were both getting BBQ. She said they come every year:) And all the gals are SO special:) They all  had some type of disability but dance helped them SO much:) They got a standing ovation every time they performed:)

Well last week was work and more work:) LOL!!!! I finished the quilt that was loaded and a baby quilt. Also got 2 rows done on the next one:) Should finish it tomorrow:)

Okay enough gabbing... on with the show:
This is Martha's Star quilt.

Loved looking at all the different fabrics in the squares. Ruler and freehand quilting:)

Perfect backing... she is thinking of putting it in our Show in July.

Dot made this sweet baby boy quilt from scraps:)

Love all the blues and of course the border!

Just looped all over.

My treasures from Calico crossing. She gave me the nippers and little bag for free:) The blue sky fabric I bought at Simple Sewing Solutions.

Here is the stage from this competition.
There was only 1 repeat studio from the last competition. Love seeing what they all come up with:)

Hubby and Granddaughter from the last competition.



Here they are all waiting for the Award ceremony.

Me and Granddaughter:)

We don't have another competition till the end of the month:)

Hubby went and got all the lawyer paperwork signed for the probate. Won't hear anything for at least 2 weeks. Hopefully we get a quick court date and then we can move on!!

Have lunch bunch this week and Bee at the end of the week but there will be quilting done in between:) YEA!!!

Hope everybody gets their UFO's finished:) LOL!!!!
