My husband and I had not had a vacation together in over two years so we thought we would sneak away for a few days. We decided to go to Texas to the antique festival near Round Top Texas with my sister Cindi and her husband David. This show is miles and miles of antiques, junk and a whole lot of rusting objects. We love old things but had no intention of buying anything, we have plenty of the above mentioned items already.
I have to admit, I did buy some things. Things I don't need but tugged at my heart, a brooch to wear on my beret, a postcard of a child and a Chinese checker board without any marbles. All total I spent $42, I am pleased with my purchases and know I will love them. I will put them with other things I don't need but seem to speak to my soul.

   | When we came home I looked at the pictures I took, it was almost embarrassing. There they were, all these pictures of old quilts. My heart is into quilts, I can drive over 1,000 miles and still I am drawn to the combination of fabric and design. Some of you understand, for those of you who don't I can't imagine why you are reading this blog. Although I talk about other things like tractors and dogs, it is still focused around needle and thread. I can't help myself, it always comes back to the love of fabric and design, and the unquenchable desire to share it with the world.   |
