AMQG: Year Long Quilt-a-long - Block 3
Another month, another block! Its time for Block 3 of the Austin Modern Quilt Guild quilt-a-long.
This month we are back at Block Party to create the Modern Plaid Block. Their site also includes a handy pdf, available for download.
This block was created by Handmade by Alissa, another favorite modern quilter. Check out her blog, her finished quilts, or her tutorials. She also has a quilt pattern published in the Quilt Scene book from the Houston show! Very cool.
Don't forget to bring your finished block to the January meeting!

Limo Wine Tour: Co-ed!
Early in the fall my friend got an awesome "groupon" deal for a limo wine tour! Half-off the price we usually pay. Without hesitation, she bought, and then we had to decide... When and where do we go? And who wants to go?
With an expiration of January 31st, we decided to use our deal as soon as possible, hopefully during the Christmas Holiday Season. I suppose everyone else who bought the deal felt the same way, because Saturday availability was gone. So, instead of the usual Saturday trip, we went out on a limb and booked our tour for a Sunday!
Another limb? We invited THE BOYS!
Fast forward to the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Its early December, the weather has cooled down, and the leaves kind of changed colors. We were ready for the adventure.
Our first stop was Pedernales Cellars Winery. The wine was delightful. After our tasting, we had some free time, so we bought an extra bottle to share outside on the patio. Paired with fruit we brought along with us, it was a nice treat.
Our second stop was Woodrose Winery. What a wonderful place! They have a large deck in the back, surrounded by trees. It feels like you are at someone's home in the country. They had multiple fires going on the deck and they do the tastings by the fire! Plus, there was a live two man band playing for us. It could not have been a more enjoyable afternoon. I can't wait to go back! I'm thinking road-trip just for Woodrose.
