This 'n That in My Life
I haven't posted much this week, so I thought I would give you a little recap of what's been going on in my life the past week. Grab you a cup of good ole coffee or tea (or wine LOL) and enjoy your visit.
Here is a picture of the windmill. Don't you just love windmills?
We drove the jeep to the highest point of the ranch and here is a view of the lake from the top of the mountain.
And look at these two little cuties, my grandsons. They had a great time exploring the place.
This is a picture of the old ranch house. It is currently under rennovation. I thought I had taken a picture of the wonderful rock fireplace on the inside, BUT, I guess I didn't.
This is the rock walkway to the front of the house and the screened porch.
Of course, we had to have some quilting pictures from this trip! Here is a picture of a double wedding ring quilt that belongs to my sister-in-law. Her grandmother was not a quilter, but she had this quilt made using my sister-in-laws old clothing. I fell in love with it.
===============================================================
That "big boy" is loaded! Not with alcohol -- but loaded on the longarm. It is in the quilting process and is about one-half quilted! I will finish the quilting today and then make the binding. I plan to sit back tonight and watch moves while putting the binding on.

Last weekend, we went to the Hill Country to visit family. My older brother is retiring and in the process of moving to a ranch outside of Blanco. Here is a picture of the entrance to the "Rockin' Chair Ranch".
This is a view of the land. It has a number of hills. It is so peaceful and I LOVE being in the Hill Country.

I had to go to Waco, TX, on Thursday for a meeting for work. Well, I just "had" to go by the quilt store and these are my purchases. Some Thimbleberries fabric that was 40% off (bought 4 yards -- thought it would be a good border fabric) and the red western fabric is going to be the borders for my western string quilt in the making. (Nope, it was NOT on sale.) Then I picked up some new tweezers and some fat quarters from the sale bin.
