Oh boy, the last 4 days have been rough around here. What started as bad allergies has ended in a monster cold that is kicking my rear! I did not know my eyes could water this much…it’s terrible. I’m less than thrilled with the timing of this stupid cold. I have things to do. Gah!
I wanted to take a moment and give a little update on the quilt along. I hope to have the pattern finished in the next couple of days. Once that is finished, I will nail down the schedule and update the quilt along page. Don’t worry, you will have plenty of time to get the pattern, fabric and supplies that you need. I do have several fat quarter bundles that will be available at reasonable prices. And I plan on offering background fabric at a discount. Of course, you are not required to purchase the fabric from me.
There will be a minimal fee of $5.00 for the pattern for participants. The pattern will eventually be sold at the regular price of $10.00. Don’t worry, I’ll have all the information on how to purchase the pattern once I get it finished. I do ask participants to NOT share the pattern. I have poured a lot of work into this one.
You do not need to have a blog to participate. Anyone can participate. I have created a Texas Teardrops Flickr group where we can share pictures and get to know each other. It’s also a good place to ask questions if you have any. I’m very excited for this quilt along! I can’t wait to see all the quilts!
Now it’s time for a little show and tell. I have to show off my birthday present that I got last week from mom and my sister, Kathy. This was a joint project between the two of them. Kathy did all the piecing and mom did the quilting and binding. Keep in mind, it was Kathy’s first ever quilting project.
I love it! I think they did a fantastic job.
Mom and Gene found the purple dish at Hobby Lobby. Purple is my favorite color.
I really love the fabric they found for the back. Let’s take a look.
And a final close up look at my table runner.
I think mom did a fantastic job with the quilting. I just love my present! Thank you both for such a beautiful gift! Love you both!
It’s time for medicine and a little rest. Maybe I can squeeze in a little work too.
Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Hope you’re better soon.
Our mom and sister did a great job on the table runner. It’s very nice.
Get better! Hopefully I fixed the issue on my blog so I am not a no reply blogger :))!! Love your gift!!!
Get better soon! I can’t wait to start the quilt along. Woohooo
The runner is beautiful and I love the colours. I am still interested in doing the quilt along. Can’t wait.

Beautiful Quilt – very nice birthday present! Happy Belated Birthday. I just wanted to let you know I lifted your quilt picture (Texas Teardrops along with your link) – and used it in my blog post about your QAL. I was pretty sure that would be okay with you, if not just let me know. I also put your button on my sideboard.
