Link Love: Houston to L.A.

God willing, as you’re reading this we’ll be spending our last night in Houston after a fun week of sightseeing, eating and fabric fondling before we head to Disneyland for a week of family vacation. I’m writing this before we head away so there’s not much for me to say other than I wish you a a fabulous week filled with love, laughter and much fabric fondling!

Our little family is on a big adventure; we’re in Houston and heading to Disneyland. We’d love you to come along with us virtually. I’ll be posting photos, stories and lives from our time in Houston, at Quilt Market and Disneyland to my instagram account. You can follow me there by clicking here or clicking the big button below.
