It's a wonderful place

It's a wonderful place here. After living a little over 50 miles from the nearest quilt shop for 7 years, I'm now within 10 minutes of two and 20 minutes to a third one. We also have a Hobby Lobby and a very nice Hancock Fabrics. I love it. I don't have to worry about being able to get a new blade for my rotary cutter or needles for my sewing machine or fabrics for that special project. I can go when I want to. It doesn't have to be a special trip planned in advance. I really am glad we moved here.

It's taking longer that I had hoped to get things unpacked and sorted out but that will come with time. After all, we are both senior citizens. I hit a new decade back in November. No longer am I one of the 60 somethings, I'm now in the 70's. I'm just thankful that I'm in pretty good health for my age. I'm trying to do something about my weight too. Need to get some of it off if I want to stay healthy.

I'm going to spend most of tomorrow in the sewing room working on the Attic Windows project for the Red Rooster retreat in about 3 weeks. I love the technique but the directions for the quilts shown are sadly lacking, as in nonexistent. So, I've got to get it all written up. A few of the ladies could take it and go with it but most of them need a great deal of hand holding along the way and very clear directions. I've got my work cut out for me for the next couple of days.
