This year's TDA quilt block competition was eagerly awaited. Several of my girlfriends and I have participated in years past. This is the state of Texas Department of Agriculture's endeavor to involve quilting in depicting the varied aspects of Texas life, then and now. This year's theme is about "wildlife," something I am well acquainted with as most of you know.
I chose the "bigmouth bass" and his habitat. Also, my brother and I use to go fishing all the time when we were youngsters. Mom never worried about where we were or if we were alright. We carried our German Shepard with us and my brother always had granddad's shotgun (some of you are familiar with it....right). We'd spend hours sitting at the lake casting our lines, hooks wriggling with worms, watching snapping turtles sunning themselves as cottonmouth water moccasins slithered through the water.
Girl, once again you have out did yourself! I do have a question, is that a snake with the fish?
