Ooh! You moved into the colder part of Texas!!! I live almost 200 miles from Midland/Odessa area. We go there to the airport -- since it's the closest to get Southwest airline. The last time we were in Midland, we found a really nice quilt shop. It was right after Xmas and they have a "backroom" with tons of sale fabric. They had beautiful displays of quilts on display too. Most of them had machine embroidered centers on pieced blocks.
Do you long-arm quilt? I just got a husqvarna Viking 18x8 and the Next Generation frame. It came with the Qbot software. It is new to me and I am still going through the learning curve & lack of confidence. I hope that 2010 will be a good year for me and I can start to post some projects!!!
