Finish...

5 mins here, 5 mins there... in between packing, my goal was to finish it before before I had to pack my machine away.

Quilting is done. It’s weird that each picture was taken minutes within each other and the colors are so off. The one laying on grass are the true colors.

I put this together last year.... and it moved from pile to pile, then hung for a while.. pattern in middle is not that dense but looking at the back it is ver scrunchy looking. I echoed the border, which took FOR-EV-ER!

It’s a Kim Diehl free pattern. I made it with leftover fabrics from another quilt. This label, to me looks like a badge! It was a leftover from the front flowers.


So now it’s done.

Crawford...

When we get to Texas, this is the house we will be staying at until we figure out where we want to settle down.
It belongs to my daughters ‘Texas Family’. Both parents have passed away within 1 1/2 yrs of each other and here it sits empty for the last year. It needs help and they are hoping we can bring some life back to it.


These are just some of the pictures...

Things have died off... some have over grown... and a lot of cleaning is needed.
It’s a beautiful piece of land.. 60+ acres...
Here is the work shop...
The garage..

I can’t wait to get there and help this wonderful family bring their parents house back to life.
Here is Kim’s house (daughter) who is my daughters friend.

They have about 5 family homes scattered throughout the property along with ‘Scott Airport’ landing strip.
And all over their property are blue bonnets!
Can’t wait to start the next chapter of our lives!

Waco, Tx...

We did the Waco run today...
Started out with breakfast.. at Chip and Joana Gaines (Fixer Upper) Magnolia Table



The wait was 1 1/2 hrs so we got a warm beverage to drink while we waited and the toured the take away portion of the place.





It was CHILLY..... wow!


Absolutely gorgeous restaurant. The food was spectacular! Home made tater tots, avocado toast, peppered bacon and biscuits and gravy. I didn’t take a actual photo of the inside.. I was in awe... and then Jo’s Mom came in and walked right by us! Our food was delivered in like 8 mins also.

Look at the bathroom!!


Then we went over to the Silo’s.. the Findery & Findery II.








Drove by a couple fixer upper houses, Jimmy Don’s, lunch and then a stop at the store and then home. I’m pooped!
