Just a quick post to say- Great Weekend Carroll and Deb! I'll post the (blackmail) pictures tomorrow when I can think straight.
On the knitting front- We visited a very nice knitting shop Yarn2Ewe in Houston. Wendy stocks a great choice of Colinette, Rowan, ggh, Noro and many other yummy yarns. I showed great restraint and only purchased 3 balls of yarn but picked up some patterns that we don't carry currently at S&S.
Oh the Quilt show was nice too. On Friday we frequented the vendors first- ALL DAY- we did not look at one quilt in the show! When I went to pay for my first purchase- I didn't have my debit card. I had some cash but planned on using my card for my purchases- I was just slightly panicked since I had decided to travel light and not bring the credit cards; only my license and card. Lucky for me Deb to the rescue- she loves it when I am indebted to her. BTW the card was in my wallet at home-that didn't stop me though!! When I unpack I'll take some photos of the haul. On Saturday we did look at the quilts- as usual the Japanese made quilts were phenomenal. But overall there were not many that really excited me.
The food was yummy- Italian, German & Mexican- the beer St. Arnolds (local brewery)was really good and the accommodations were exceptional.
It was a great girls weekend that was long overdue- Oh yea Deb learned to knit again!! She is making a really pretty purple scarf out of Foliage and we taught her to spit splice!! I'm pooped and I need a long soak in the tub.
