We had a low temp ione morning of 29 and today's high is to be 75 :0 Normal Texas weather! We also got 3.75 in of rain with most in one night. We did need the rain for the wildflowers!
I was only home 2 days and I did quilt those 2 days. I had lunch bunch, errand day and Hubby and I went to the Burnet Quilt Show on Valentine's Day or otherwise known as the Commercialised Love Day! We have never celebrated. I usually buy a 4 pack of chocolate covered strawberries and we share those:)
Back to the show. It was a lovely unjudged 120 quilt show. The only prizes given out are for the Viewer's Choice places 1,2,and 3. You saw everything from Modernt to Bonnie Hunter to antique quilts. They had a large boutique area and the best idea I had ever seen: a room with tons and tons of fabric. You could pu a banana box full for $5. Of course half the fun was the digging for the treasures. They came in all sizes, shapes, and unfortunately types...poly, fleece, drapery, etc... but there was a lot of cotton! I got my box full...well almost:) Hubby packed and folded the fabric so good it was about 3/4. They also had book and magazines but I had no interest in those!
Then we walked across the street to where the vendors were. I finally found a Barn quilt I had to have...of course it was sold so have one on order:) YEA! There was hand painted fabric, digital prints, fats, yardage, etc...
So I had texted my cousin who lives in Burnet on where to eat and he suggested MaMa's. Yup it was great homemade food! He unfortunately had to work and couldn't join us:(
Then we drove back home. Was a beautiful day and a great drive!
Yesterday Hubby got my FW case all spit shined and polished! It looks brand new. The daughter's was done last week but I didn't take a before and after pic of hers:( I did of mine!
Today I have been sewing Clue 6 of Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt:) Am now cutting Clue 7...slow and steady! Hubby went to his concealed gun carry class.
Next week I will only be here 2 days and yes I will be quilting:) YEA!
Onto the pictures:

My final Poppins bag I will ever make is finished...well except for the zipper pulls I have ordered from Etsy.
Inside. Did I mention I was never ever going to make another one? Ever?
Poor Maxx had his man parts removed on Thursday. This picture is him at the vet when we first arrived... he was NOT happy with me at all! But he came home like nothing happened:) LOL!!!
The others looked for him for most of the day except when they were hiding from the plumber:) LOL!
