Two down...

These are the latest two quilt tops I finished waiting to be quilted for our new home. The small 'seminole' patchwork (the little red diamonds) around the yellow quilt took a long time to do, but I'm glad I did them, they add a bit pizzaz to an already pizzazy (is that a word?) quilt.

This was our view from the 24th floor of the Hilton in downtown Austin. It was a pretty view day or night, but night time had a bit more 'sparkle' to it. That is the capital of Texas, with the University of Texas a few blocks behind it.

Austin

Although our trip was cut short by two days, we had a great time in Austin. Jorge missed his board meeting, but did get to his conference. I brought along my new little sewing machine (yeah, thanks Jorgito), and spent most of the time sewing in the room. When the weather cleared up we went out to see the capital and Museum of History. At night we were able to enjoy the great food of Austin.

Second roar of the Lion

This is our garbage pail, with a brick wall around it, that sits completely covered in snow. That 'crack' in the snow, covers our walk way, it now has a drift and snow of snow over it, but Jorge shoveled it twice today, already! We think we'll wait until tomorrow to shovel again.

March leaving like a lion!!

This was the snowstorm that kept us home bound for two days before our trip. Unfortunately we came home to another storm, and we are again 'confined to quarters.'

The bottom picture is Jorge trying to shovel through the drifts so we could get to our car, where all our luggage sat. The next is around our house, and the top picture was downtown Sturgis when we were finally able to get out and get to the airport. There was so much snow and drifts, that the whole town was undrivable, except for a few main roads.
