Sewing Room On The GO

YES....VBS...I finally got to play with my sewing stuff.The picture on the right is the outside of the trailer, showing lights and my little step stool so I can get in without breaking my neck..........The picture on the left is me, answering the call from my dh, I didn't know he had the camera.( The side of the trailer says build a healthy lawn with less water), not heal less.............Oh well, sometimes things aren't what they seem.

The last pic is "Moi" trying to figure out how to cut a block I need and don't know how to measure correctly to get it to work?????HELP.........I have an 8 1/2 1n. block, 8in. finished,that I want to set on point,I don't know what size to make the triangles to surround it.I know there is a measurement and it is pretty standard, but I DON"T KNOW WHAT IT IS........... GGGGRRRR. If I was at home, I could call some of my friends or go to the LQS, but since I am not, I am just pulling my hair out. NOW, imagine that..... heehee, any help will be appreciated.

Back to my sewing room on the go, I don't have it fixed the way I want yet, as we are now being told the generator will be fixed Easter when we come home for a few days.The way I had lights the other night, was we were at Home Depot and they had an outside plug that we could use. That is the first one we have had. I sure thought all those type stores had plugs outside, but apparently not......... I hope maybe there will be a couple more this week. We are now in San Antiono. Its cold here and the wind is furious, just cuts right through me. Supposed to get colder but the wind is going to die down some, so that will be good. Will post our schedule tomorrow, DH has it with him, he is at the computer downstairs.

Hope all of you are warm tonight, when we came in from dinner, the electricity was off, but came back on in about 30 min. It was beginning to get a little chilly.I think the wind knocked it out.

When we went to eat, we passed a fabric store, plan to go back tomorrow to check it out. Tomorrow is our off day, so will have some time to look around a bit, also plan to check out my book of quilt stores and see what I can find. I'm sure there is something I can get into.

Oh, yeah, I went to Toys R Us on Saturday and done a little Great Grandmother shopping. That was the only store that was convenient, but I had a good time just thinking about "our" newest addition. I can't hardly wait. By the way his name is Christian Klark, I like their choice in names, but then, I would like whatever they chose. Afterall, He is theirs.............VBS..........

Do any of you read a blog, will I be pretty in pink? I was keeping up with her, but have lost the site and can't find it, I know she reads my blog sometime, so if she or any of you have her site would you please send it to me..........Thanks.....

Am going to hush for now, want to read some blogs.............
Hope you are quilting memories........someone will love you for it............J

Picture

This is the picture that was supposed to be with the post below! I have no clue waht happened to it.......LOL.........................I still LIKE it ........VBS............

Quilt Emporium Picture

This is a pretty quilt that was hanging in the Quilt Emporium in Huston. I have no idea who made it but thought they done a good job and I love their choice of color. DH and me went looking for another shop we were told about yesterday, but when we found the place they were all gone, as in moved out!!! Shame on them. DH asked me where my Quilters Travel Companion was, and I had brought it in the motel room several days ago and left it, HOW DUMB CAN I BE?????? Anyhow we won't have another chance to go quilt shop looking while we are here. Hope to find something in San Antonio next week.
I was going to post our schedule for this week, but DH has it downstairs mapping out our stops for this week ( he's on the motel computer),So maybe later today or tomorrow, I am so looking forward to meeting some of you out there in blogland.
Hope everyone is quilting memories and DO hope DH will get the electricity working soon in the trailer. I think the problem is, he really doesn't know what he is doing (I don't mean that ugly, I truly don't think he knows what to do). We had a guy work on the generator while we were in Baton Rouge, but when he was through, it still didn't work the electricity!!!! Some one is not a happy camper.
It is pretty dark in there so I can't even cut out anything. OK, OK ,I know you are tired of me whining, so am going to finish getting dressed and get ready to get out of here.
Catch everyone later, I'm always (thinking about ) Quilting Memories!!!!!

No pictures

This has been an uneventful last 5 days as far as our traveling, just finished the weeks worth of work,and we both are sort of tired.I hate to say this because of the cold wet weather most everyone is having, we did heve rain for 3 days but it was at least warm. But today it has been HOT and we were outside, BUT I am not complaining, I prefer hot weather.
Tomorrow, I must do some laundry, and some bookwork, but mostly just try to relax.
I would like for all you out in blogland to pray for my friend Betty, she is having some major problems and is in the hospital. I understand she is doing a little better today but still has a long way to go.
Maybe Tuesday we can get out and see if we can find another quilt shop, something exciting to do.We still don't have any electricity in the trailer yet, WG is planning to see what he can do with that tomorrow also, so maybe next week we can get my "sewing studio on the go" up and running. Hope all of you are having a good weekend, will get back as soon as I have something more interesting to post about
Going to catch up on my blog reading, maybe some of the ladies will have news about the quilt show in Va. By now, J

Quilt Emporium, Stafford Texas

The top picture is a quilt made for the shop owners 50th birthday. Isn't it pretty? She wasn't working yesterday when we were there so didn't get to meet her.The two workers I did meet were Barbara(left) and Carole(right), both were very nice and helpful. The next two pics are fabrics I bought for me two more pillowcases for the road. Aren't they going to be pretty? I think so..VBS...

Now to tell the story of how we found???? this shop.. WG made the wrong turn and couldn't figure which way to go, so he pulled into this very small strip mall, and when we looked straight ahead we were facing their door..Was that luck or what???I went in and got directions and told ( Barbara) the very nice lady who gave me directions that I would be back the next day and I was there shortly after they opened. I spent about an hour there.The Quilt Emporium is in Stafford Texas at 11925 Southwest Freeway, Suite 11, If you are ever in the neighborhood you should stop by, VERY NICE LADIES. We are off this afternoon to do an event at Wal Mart 15955 fm 529 road in Houston 3-8 Our schedule for the rest of this week is: Thurs, Feb21,Home Depot 999 West North Loop Houston.3-8.............Fri, at Lowes 6161 East Sam Houston Parkway NC, Houston 3-8
