Trying to finish up....

We head north in less than a week. I've been trying to finish several projects that became stalled while I was busy with my quilting group. I managed to get 2 quilts quilted before I had to dismantle my sewing room. (DH stores all the buildings etc. for the garden railway there, over the summer). I'm now sewing at the DR table, so the house looks like a disaster area! Just a few more stitches, then the serious packing and cleaning begins! I made the mistake of digging out all the fabric I have purchased over the winter, so I could see how to pack it for the trip. It doesn't seem like much fabric until it is all placed together!

Howdy!

Thanks for the update, Susan. I was thinking about you yesterday, watching traffic on I-35W in Ft.Worth, all the motor homes (obvious sign; not all W.Tx. have motor homes, of course) headed north as the Winter Texans head home for the summer (wonder why they avoid summer in Tx.??? ). Good luck on your trip north; I believe there's always room for one more piece of fabric (have tested this theory several times; mailed home more than one pkg ). Travel safely. Cheers!

DH always says that our van is several inches lower on the trip north! Couldn't be from all the fabric, could it? We always take our time traveling home. Its great to see the progression of spring flowers on the way north. Then, there is a point in Pennsylvania, where you cross a ridge and it is still almost winter-like on the other side - no leaves, and grass just starting to turn green. Our community is becoming empty quite early this year, as many have returned to spend Easter with their families.

Thanks Patti. This winter has just flown by - I didn't get as many quilting projects finished as I had planned!

DH has cousins who winter in Charlotte Harbor, so if you don't come to Dade City, I can always visit in Ft. Myers!
