GD, DH, Sister and Neice

This post has a bit of this and a bit of that ***VBS***

The pic. of the computer cover and also the one of the young lady ( my neice) holding the edge of a quilt is one that she made.She is quiet talented, and she got hers quilted as soon as she finished with it, no, she didn't do the quilting herself and I don't know who did, but the quilt is so pretty. I told her as soon as we get home from our travels, we will paint our bedroom so that when she gives me the quilt it will match***I don't understand why she didn't think that was a great idea***Oh well ***

the other quilt that is being held is my sisters, she has been going to " Scrap Therapy classes and has made the quilt top she is holding, I like it a lot also, she has done a fantastic job on that one also. The quilt blocks you see, my sister is also making. The pattern is called "Prickly Pears", lots of beautiful decorative stitches, she has a long way to go, but when she gets it finished it, too, is going to be georgeous. I am so proud of both of them.

The picture of DH throwing a baseball was taken at the Greensboro Grasshoppers opening game. He was honored to be asked to do that,FYI, the Greensboro Grasshoppers are the minor league team for the Red Sox.

The picture of the young lady in the race car is our GD, she looks like she was enjoying herself,

I think she did*VBS* This picture was taken when we worked the Wal Mart in Winston Salem. There was a lot of family and friends that came to see us there, some even looked us up after we had closed down. I am so glad we decided to eat at the McDonalds that is in Wal Mart.

Mrs. Goodneedle and her Hubby and Son and DIL, had come to see us and that's where they found us. The District Mgr. was with us that day and at 6pm he said we had been there long enough and he wanted to go, so we did,that happens sometime. Also on Saturday we were at Lowe's in Kernersville and had a visit from Quiltkemosabie and her Hubby and their Son. I was so glad to get to see all my buddies. There were several friends that I hadn't seen in quiet a while there also,It was good to see everybody.That was a great 2 days.

I also got to visit the LQS 2 days while we were in WS, of course being there with all my great friends was wonderful, now maybe I can make it through these next 2 months.Although I should be able to see some family then also.

When I get through with my laundry, we are going to a quilt shop I saw yesterday, I could almost walk there from the motel. As we were coming into town yesterday, I saw it, so now I am excited about my visit with them. I will post about it soon.We are in La Plata, Md. I am not going to post our schedule, as it's already changed several timea in the last few days, but we are in the DC area, will be all over this place, here for 2 weeks, are scheduled to go to 6-7 of the pro ballgames around here, so hope someone can find us and say hello.

It's time to check on my wash, so hope you are somewhere sunny and warm today. Once again it's chilly and rainy here. I am thankful we don't have to work today. Maybe tomorrow it will be nice here. Take care and keep Quilting Memories.

I MADE A MISTAKE

Sorry, but I made a mistake on our schedule for Friday, we will be at Lowes in Kernersville, not Wal Mart.... Sorry The address is 145 Harmond Creek Rd. We will be there from 9 am-2 pm.
Yes, I know I fuss all the time about our schedule changing, but this was my mistake, I'm just addle-brained...Hope to see ya'll anyway. The Lowes store is very close to WM, so if you were coming to see us, you still should be able to find us. Hope to see ya soon. Me and He

Wake Forest, NC

Here we are in Wake Forest, NC, and when we looked out our motel window this old barn was looking at us ***VBS*** I love old barns, I have no idea why, but they fascinate me. I couldn't beleve what I saw. We are a little far out in the country, but not that far, or so I thought. But anyway, I haven't been to any quilt stores while in the Raleigh area, so have nothing much to talk about.

After our event tomorrow, we will be headed to the Greensboro area. I am so excited, cause I can spend a little time with our kids and grandkids, and maybe even get to see our little Great GS, that will be great. then I think we are going to go see my sister and BIL and friends in Va, the next weekend, maybe spend Easter there, thats not a sure thing yet though. They may be going to Michigan, to see her son and family.

Here is our schedule for next week, if you can come by and check us out:

4/8 Wed. Wal Mart Hwy 150 W.S. 3pm-8pm

4/9 Thurs. Grasshoppers game in Greensboro 3-7 pm

4/10 Fri. Wal Mart Kernersville 9am-2pm

4/11 Sat. Grasshoppers game in Greensboro 3pm-7pm

Hope to see some of my family and friends.

Take care, see ya soon, Bobbin

Quilt Patch Fabrics, Matthews, NC

Hi Everyone,This was a very nice surprise,when we stopped in front of this shop, I told DH I wouldn't be but a minute, BUT was I ever surprised........What a great store and just the nicest lady. The picture of the 3 people are the owners.Charlotte Harkey,Janice Cooper and Brian Gregory. the 2 I met was so very nice. That store was so well laid out with lots of everything...

if you need something to use in your sewing room, I feel confident that you can find it there.

If you decide to go, you could go here and to the Overall Quilter in the same day. They aren't very far apart. They have a web site it's www.quiltpatch fabrics.com.....Check them out, I know you will like what you see. They are in Matthews, NC 1017 Stallings Rd. Yep, you need to check these two out ***VBS***

We will be leaving Charlotte tomorrow afternoon, heading for Raleigh. My brother and SIL live there. We plan to get together for dinner next Saturday,we hope to see their son and his family, as my nephew has been given his orders, he has to be in Japan by July 6th. I hope that will be a great experience for them. I have known other military people who have been over there and they say it's a wonderful place to be. I hope so.

Well, we left work early again today, rain, rain. I wonder what we will have tomorrow, I think the TV says Rain....At least it isn't real cold. I have been sitting in the truck reading.

I shall tell you about some books that I am reading that was recommended, and I think several of you may enjoy as well. So until tomorrow, stay dry and quilt memories for me.....BOBBIN

PS: Do any of you know where I may find a quilt shop in Raleigh?

Overall Quilter Indian Trail, NC

This is a very neat store, very well stocked. Although it is small, you can find lots of goodies there.

She has lots of the latest fabrics, patterns and notions.There were several quilts on display as well. The owners name is Aimee, a

lovely lady. I know you would like her, so I think if you live within a few hours drive you would be glad you went.Tell her you read about her on my blog, I would like that and I can promise you I will be going back, cause we have a cousin who lives very close by.

So all you WS bloggers, she isn't too far from Charlotte, I think you need to go on a road trip.

Well, It's raining here again today and the weather forcast is for severe weather tomorrow.We

left the event at 12pm today, have no idea what tomorrow will bring. But I am damp and cold, so am going to curl up and read a book, maybe even take a nap ***VBS*** sounds like a plan to me.Later, Bobbin

Sew N Sew Summerville, SC

Here we are , still in Summerville, SC. This was such a nice store.The ladies were exceptionally nice and helpful. The sign out front was a little hard for us to see, but we finally found it, and I am so glad we did. the store wasn't too big, but definitely well stocked. They also had a very nice place for classes. If you get a chance, visit with them, I think you will enjoy seeing the shop.

I don't have their physical address, but it was on one of the main roads and also in the phone book.

It's raining here and our work for today has been cancelled. We are close enough to run by our house and DH has decided that's what we are going to do, so I must get off here or I may get left***YEAH, RIGHT***

Until we meet again, quilt memories, you'll be happier for it****** BOBBIN
