Just a quick post to update my move. Our house in Florida is sold and after a whirlwind trip to Georgia and a couple days of negotiations we have purchased a home near one of our sons. So many of you have sent lovely words of encouragement the last few months and I thank you so much for your support. Quilting and blogging friends are the best! The next few weeks I will be busy packing and organizing for the move so no time for stitching. But even though we are downsizing I will have a small sewing room to start and then DH will be finishing the basement into a huge sewing studio. Something fun to look forward to but the best news is that we found a house 5 minutes from the grandchildren.
Today was my last sewing day as I scrambled to put this top together to get ready for the packing. The picture is not the best but I am pleased with the finished quilt.
Until next time, happy stitching!

I've been away for a few days, so I'm just catching up. Congrats on all the good news! I hope all goes well with the move, and you're back to sewing in no time. Remind me where you are in Florida. We just spent a few days in Pensacola for a wedding.
so nice of you to be able to live so close to the grands! enjoy them I live 14 hours from mine!
Your quilt is lovely. I especially love the fabrics you picked.
Wishing you all the best for the move!! The thought of soon living only 5 minutes from your grandchildren will get you through the busy weeks ahead. That quilt top is so beautiful, I love everything about it.
Hurrah for the good news! Congratulations on both selling the old and buying a new house! And only 5 minutes from your grand children. What can be better??? I just hope you'll still have time to quilt lol!! Love your quilt by the way, the last border just brought it all together.
Your quilt top is lovely. And what fun to be so close to the grandkids! Hope this move goes smoothly for you!

Nice to have a quilt top finished up before you pack everything away. Best of luck with your move!
Hey Hey! Congratulations! So glad you can be "moving" on and know you will be settled soon...and 5 minutes to grandkids...can't ask for more than that! Looking forward to seeing your new place all decorated with beautiful quilts!
Hi Heather - I hope the move is uneventful and that you are unpacked and settled-in in no time flat! So nice to be so close to family! And I love your blue and red quilt - so pretty!
Good Luck on your move. I too have been downsizing and FYI you might be amazed at some of the stuff you find that you didn't remember having. D.G. L
Glad to hear that your house sold!! Nice to be able to get going on the moving part!!! Best of luck in getting it all organized---you are probably a pro at this part by now. I had to take all my stuff out of one bedroom & move it into the other bedroom. I can't find anything!!! Your quilt top is gorgeous & I think this is your color combo
Congrats on your sale and purchase! Praise be our prayers were heard. Your MIYW came out marvelous! Watch your back while packing and safe journey to your new home.
good luck with the move, hope you are back sewing in no time flat.... but you may find that closer proximity to the Grand children reduces your sewing time... enjoy whatever happens
At last………..and our house has sold too!! So pleased for you and good luck with the moving…so glad it is close to the grandies. Much love from 'down under' xx
Best wishes for a successful move and enjoy planning that new basement sewing space!
I am so pleased to hear that your move is happening and that you will be close to your grandchildren. Good luck with the move!
So happy for you, hope it's going well. The colors in the top are perfection!
Wishing you a successful, pain-free move. Love the colors and fabrics on your new quilt! So yummy...
Great news that you sold so quickly Heather, and you have a new home to go to, love the sound of that big basement sewing room!!!!! Now you just need a few months to settle and get back in to your sewing. Travel safe. Cheers Glenda
