I'm home, but a part of my heart is still in Texas. Seldom have a I fell for a place like I did last week. It reminded me of my girlhood in rural Illinois.
Abilene:
Bluebonnets! A whole field of them.
Feathered Star Quilt Shop in Clyde. Owner, Shaula, has the cutest things and her displays are so charming! We had such a fun time.
I love this old timey post box piece.
Thank you to the ladies of the
Abilene Quilt Guild for their warm welcome. Good luck at your upcoming quilt show.
Midland:
A great workshop with the nice ladies of the
Midland Quilt Guild. Look at the cute houses they built.
They had a wonderful BBQ lunch. What a treat! with homade food and Texas Pecan Squares - swoon.
I was treated (see what I did there) to a Chocolate Factory visit at
Susie's South 40. This is the world's biggest cookie cutter. Susie started in her kitchen and now she has a whole factory and ships anywhere.
This is the only time I've been first on a visitors peg board. That's me near New Haven :)
I pigged out (hehe) at
KDs Authentic Bar-B-Q.
A visit to the
Petroleum Museum. It was incredible!
I received a few sweet gifts and shopped everywhere we went.
Wee! I found great postcards, a pressed penny and even a floaty pen. Yahoo!
My favorite thing? The Pump Jack! I just loved watching them.
I think you can see why I was smitten. Thanks Texas!
