Today is Sunday and we leave for Houston on Tuesday. My first class is Tuesday afternoon, so we can easily drive in, have lunch, and check into the education center before my class begins.
Tuesday’s class is “Exquisite Curves” which filled right away.
Wednesday we are going to the Texas Quilt Museum with my sister Lee, who lives just south of Houston. She’s graciously offered to meet me and drive us there. I do not drive well enough to handle two hours of Texas traffic.
Thursday I’ll have two Open Studios presentations: 10 a.m. until noon, and noon until 2 p.m.
Friday, I have the same Open Studios schedule.
Saturday, my “Almost in Church” stained glass class from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. Though my first class is filled already, this one has a few seats left.
If you are in Houston for the show, drop by my Open Studios presentation on Thursday or Friday and say hello. I may be sewing, but I can welcome you and maybe even chat for a second. Who knows, right? It’s far from my first time going to Houston, but this is the first time I’ll be so busy teaching. Wish me a little prayer.
We’ve decided that driving home late at night will be too much for us, so we’ll spend the night and drive home on Sunday. No doubt, we’ll be exhausted, but I plan to make the most of my time looking at quilts. Richard will help in my class until we get going. I have no doubt he will wander around and look at all of the machines. His job at Garan Inc. ended many, many years ago, but he’s still interested in seeing both the machines and the newest technology.
One last thing, one of my Open Studios presentations is on making NICU gowns for preemie babies. To give gratitude for my time in Houston, I added the pattern and instructions to my Class Courses page as a free download. You do have to go through the purchasing process, but the charge is 0.00 at the end.
Are you going to Houston? Tell me your plans in the comments.
