LOST IT

OK, I know I have lost it now, I did not realize the top picture was on the last post. that was the last one I took. Hope you enjoy looking at them.J

Quilt Pics,Break-in...GGGRRRR


These are two more quilts I took pics of while at Seventh Heaven Quilt Store, I also thought they were very pretty, I would love to give credit to whom ever pieced/quilted them but their names were not on them anywhere that I saw. I love the colors, Brown is really the "in" color now, don't you think. I love brown and pink, this was a deep rose color,the blocks had been fussy cut to get the baskets, not appliqued, well, I don't think so anyway.

This quilt speaks for itself, the colors photographed really well. Very vibrant!!! I loved it as well.
I only have one more pic from there, but Blogger wouldn't let me add it, so maybe tomorrow.
We have to work this afternoon, and DH"s step-sister and her hubby is coming over to sit with us for a while, we will really enjoy that as well as it will help pass the time away. Sometimes these evening events seem very long. But we do have lovely weather today so that is a plus. Also, we will be at a Wal-Mart and I need some toilitries, and I will shop for them,I also need to do some straightening in the trailer. So I guess I will be busy this afternoon.
I was planning to go to the quilt shop here in Round Rock yesterday, but our plans were dirrupted, when we went out to get in the truck, some one had broken my side window and ransacked inside. We are sure they were looking for our GPS system, but we had that inside with us, we take everything of value inside, EVERY NIGHT, They did get a briefcase with all DH's extra work papers, (report forms, addresses,etc.) just a nusiance to have to replace all those things. Obviously we then spent several hours talking to the police, the bosses at work, then getting the window replaced.I was quiet angry,the truck is parked within view of our window and this place is very well lighted. Hubby and I were very comfortable that we were safe as well as the truck was safe, I guess you just never know. The manager here was very upset, it seems that about 2 weeks ago, someone had a car broken and the only thing taken was the GPS system. I guess that is the going thing for thieves now. The only consolation I have, we found a glove lying beside the truck, and it had blood all over it, so I guess whoever done this, cut himself. I hope he had to go to the hospital, the police said they would check that out.This being a small town, they probably will be more apt to check the small things, at home they wouldn't do much of anything. Someone broke into our home several tears ago, and after the police left the premises we never heard another thing. This police officer came back twice yesterday afternoon, checking about different things. Another thing they took was a picture of our Granddaughter, That really bothers me. I had her name, age and where she goes to school on back. Being the worrier that I am, I have imagined all sorts of bad things , so you can see yesterday wasn't a very good day. I DESPISE A THIEF..... Yes, I have called our daughter and told her, she said she would be extra cautious , but we also don't want to scare out GD either, but I had rather be safe than sorry.............Do you think I am over reacting?
Well, its about time to get off here and get on the road, hope all of you are busy today, quilting memories.......................J

Austin schedule. new pics, and happy Birthdays




Here are 3 more pics I took at the Seventh Heaven Quilt shop, hope you enjoy them, Just some of the things I thought was pretty.Do you think they are pretty?
We didn't have a dance Friday night, and I wasn't surprised,I was finding it hard to believe that Home Depot would let that happen** VBS**
Do you think someone may have teasing DH and me because we are new? I think so...........
Saturday, we had to stay outside and it was cold and windy, but today was miserable, we finally had to pack up and leave early, and that was a GREAT idea..............The wind was really strong and as the sun was setting it was beginning to get terribly cold.
We leave here tomorrow am, headed to Austin, sure hope the weather is better there.......
Here is our schedule: Wed, Mar.12th,Wal-Mart in Georgetown at 620 South IH 35 3-8pm
Thurs.,Mar.13th, Home Depot in Austin at 10515 N Mopac NB Expy 3-8 pm
Fri,mar14th, Lowe's in Austin at 6400 Brodie Lane 3-8 pm
Sat,.Mar15., Home Depot in Round Rock at 2551 S Interstate Hwy 35 8am-4pm
Sun,Mar 16th., Home DEpot in Temple at 3550 S General Bruce Dr 8am-4pm
We have already been told the time for Saturday may change, as soon as I know for sure I will post the new time.............. I am still looking for some of you bloggers out there....LOL...
Also Log Cabin Quilter commented on my blog that she was from the Dallas area, these are the towns we will be in starting on Mar 26th, Mansfield, Arlington,Rockwall, Wylie, Allen, Garland,Fort Worth, Denton and Flower Mound. We are scheduled to do a Lowe's Fan Fest on April 3rd, but they failed to say where............. Will post more after we get through in Austin and get back to Texas, we are going home for a few days between Mar17th and 25th. Log Cabin Quilter if you are reading this please email me and maybe you can come to one of these places. Hope to hear from you soon.
I must get up from here and get my things ready to move again tomorrow. We have not brought nearly as much stuff in thie week as we did last, so won't take too long................
Of course, we were at a Lowe's yesterday, and there was a Target on one side and a Kohls on the other, it was quiet a little hike, but I went to both places. I bought myself 4 tops. 2 tops for our Grandaughter and a couple ( well maybe more than a couple) things for our new Great Grandson that is on the way. All this shopping is my DH's fault, if he had gotten the generator fixed and I could be sewing I would have been too busy to shop.... All of you BELIEVE that, don't you??????????
On the serious side, he has tried really hard to get that darn generator working, even had it worked on, all to no avail. But his boss has assured us that we have a new one waiting on us as soon as we get home for Easter, it will be put in the trailer, and it should be large enough to run everything we want to use at one time.... That will be nice and since that remark was made by the "big" boss, I feel sure it is sitting there all shiney and pretty waiting for us....VBS... Then I will be a happy camper.Probably still shop some, but don't tell DH, I wan't to surprise him......heehee
Today is our Grandaughters 13th birthday, has been a tough day for me. I have always been with her on her special day...........She called me this morning to Thank me for her gift, I was surprised, I had planned to call her, but was waiting for church to be over, but they went to the early service and had somewhere else to go this afternoon, so she wanted to catch up with us.
Her cousin was taking her to lunch then shopping then there was going to be cake and ice cream at the church (youth) tonight. She does stay busy, but I feel kinda sorry for her, not only are we gone but so is her Daddy. He will be home a couple days before us, but he will get to stay for about 6 weeks.She sure does miss all of us, but not nearly as much as I miss my little "Love Bug".Happy Birthday, Love Bug.......
Then Monday is my sister's 60th birthday, and I won't get to be with her either, so this has been a sad weekend for me, yes, I know I will get through these two days, but I don't have to like it, Do I????????????????????
OK, Ok, I am going to quit whining and get off here, hope I will soon be , once again, Quilting Memories....That will make me have a ********VBS*********** J

More pics from Seventh Heaven Quilt Store




Well, here is two more quilt pics I took at Seventh Heaven Quilt Shop, I was just taking random pics, bacause there were so many it was hard to choose, and I really liked them all**VBS***
I hope you enjoy seeing them, Of course, I don't have any idea who quilted them, but I did ask if I could take pictures. As I said yesterday, Dixie was very gracious and said I could. So I did...
Today should some what different at work. Supposedly, where we are going to be ( Home Depot) is going to have us inside ( that's good, it's still COLD), was told they are clearing out enough room to have a "DANCE", should be very interesting***VBS****. Dh gets so nervous when we are inside because of the buggys and the big sheets of plywood going by us, so he really ought to be a basket case with people dancing too. LOL...The car is his baby and he is very protective...LOL...
I sure hope these winter storms get over soon, I hope we don't run into any of them. I understand they had quiet a large snow storm in Dallas a few days back, we will be there in about 2 1/2 weeks. Will they be gone by then? When does spring get in those areas? I am SOOO ready for warm weather. Yes, I know I will probably be complaining about hot weather before I know it.But, in my defense, the only reason I will complain about the heat, is because it causes me to swell really bad... That is NO fun...Swelling makes me hurt, does that make sense? Well, doesn't make sense to me either..
Just about time to get ready to leave here, and go to the "DANCE" ****LOL****
Continue Quilting Memories, you'll be happy and make some one else happy, what a great combination...............J

Seventh Heaven Quilt Store











Lookie. Lookie, what I found. Yep, a quilt shop, I just love the name, Seventh Heaven, I think that is quiet unique, and the shop itself was unique. It looks so small from the outside, but there was 5 rooms , and all of them, as well as a long hall, was full of "quilty stuff". Lots and lots of fabrics , and more threads than I have ever seen in one shop, there was also a LOT of quilts on display. I took several pictures and will post some more of them tomorrow. I just love the one with the children on it, and that was Dixie (the owner) cutting the fabric, She was so very nice.
The next picture is a baby quilt that I fell in love with, so I bought the kit so I can make one someday. The fabric that Dixie was cutting was the backing I plan to use. The design in the fabric is trains, and with a new Great grandson coming, I think that will be a great quilt to make "someday". I hope he doesn't have to wait for it until he's college age***LOL***, I have already bought the fabric for one quilt, so I guess he will be able to stay warm...heehee......
I have been so excited because of the warm weather we have been in, almost since we left home, but "OLD MAN WINTER" came calling this afternoon. It has rained hard all day and the wind is blowing about 40 mph, and its almost freezing, will be before the night is over.Glad I brought my heavy winter coat, I sure will enjoy having that tomorrow, as we are supposed to be outside from 3-8pm.........bbbrrrrrr..... I dread having to work tomorrow, but I can at least get in the truck some, but DH will not do that, he will not leave the car without one of us looking after it, so I will try to get him to take turns, but I already know he won't. He will remind me that I am not paid to work on this job, Hard head.............................
We did work inside today, just inside the door and the door was stuck OPEN..... They finally decided to close that one and use the other one about 4pm.. By then I was pretty cold, and the other people that was working up front was complaining ,was happy when they finally closed the darn thing...WE went in early today( rep requested we come in early) so we also got to leave early. That was great.
Hope all of you are warm and dry and quilting memories, catch you later, J
