The Houston Chronicle this morning had an article about another art exhibit on display during Quilt Festival. Remember the cows, horses that different cities have had artists decorate. These giant globes will be on display starting tonight through Dec. 31 on the Discovery Green Park across from the GRBrown Convention Center. This is where the Gala will be on Saturday night.

Okay, I stooped to spending time doing another one of those silly quizes. I love, the colors of the outcome.
Your rainbow is intensely shaded violet, pink, and brown.
What is says about you: You are a grateful person. You appreciate the roughness of nature. You feel closer to people when you understand their imperfections. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it.

SAQA-Texas Blog Launched
“What are you working on?” For the past week or so, I’ve been working with co-rep Laurie Brainerd on creating a regional blog for SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) Texas. We went live yesterday.
The blog will be used to communicate information about meetings, art/quilt related exhibits, member news, and calls for entry.
As more SAQA region blogs come on line these blogs should be a valuable resource both to the members living in the region and those travelling through. We have so many talented members in Texas, it was fun just browsing through all the member links to see if they worked properly.

Fourth, Food & Fun
My family has a long tradition of photographing our food. My daughter, son and I all like to cook and this is a way of remembering some great meals and good times with family together.

Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Blog Gone
I think my blog got lost in Athens, Ohio and hasn’t caught up with me yet. The SAQA conference was full of great workshops and speakers, leaving my aging brain on overload. I’m still processing all I was exposed to. What a trip it is to be around so many incredibly talented people who all speak the same language.
Athens is a beautiful little university town that reminds me very much of the one I grew up in Starkville, Mississippi (home of Mississippi State where my father was on the faculty). The downtown area looks so much like ours looked in the 50’s.
Walking to the campus 
Salaam – an Arabic restaurant with lovely
hand stamped tablecloths from Turkey.
The PhotoShop workshop with Deidre Adams was very good . I am more familiar with Paint Shop Pro and find that I can do many of the things I learned in PSP. Mainly I think what I learned is that there is so much more to learn. If I can’t do it in PSP, I can switch to PhotoShop Elements.
The knowledge has come in very handy as my husband and I prepare for our 50th High School Reunion in Starkville, MS. We volunteered to put together slide and PowerPoint shows from old photos from the yearbooks and photos that people have scanned and sent to us.
