I can’t believe it … I’m going to Houston!

My DH and I were talking about the show, and how I wouldn’t be able to see my quilt hanging there. He said, “You should go.” (Did I choose a good one or what?!) So I quickly booked a room and plane tickets before he changed his mind.

And just in time too; While I was talking on the phone with the reservation man this afternoon trying to work out how to get the festival rate for a non-smoking room for as many nights as I could without having to switch rooms halfway through my trip, rooms were literally being snatched up as we spoke. First there was a room in the block on Thursday, and next thing you know, it was gone! Needless to say as soon as he found something I reserved it immediately.

That’s all, I just had to share my good news! As of today, I am officially on a shopping diet. Hopefully I can make everything I need from what I already have in my stash. I have three quilt tops to finish (two of which are not even started yet), as well as three workshops coming up, other various small projects, and the book proposal to keep me busy at home and out of the quilt stores. Gotta save up so I can bring along an empty suitcase to fill!

Now I’m going to try and focus on finishing the quilt top for the BOM at CBQ next week.
