Well, l've been back a little while, but it's taken some to find my feet and catch up with stuff here at home. It was such a whirlwind of a trip, and we saw and did so much in 11 days, my head is still spinning, trying to process it all. l took a lot of photos, mainly of the quilts at Festival, but l thought l would share these ones first, which really sum up our trip.
The wide open spaces that is TEXAS!!
We took a drive to Fredericksburg, and found this ranch. Wish we had known about it
before we left home, as you can stay there.
We visited on a Saturday, and it was deserted. Fell in love with this church.
They looked so inviting. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
And who can resist taking photos of an eagle!! This was above the front door.
We stayed at the Stockyards in Fort Worth, and each day at 11am and 4pm,
they drive these Longhorns down the main street.
We took a drive to Waxahachie to visit Common Threads Quilt Shop,
and while we girls went shopping, our DH's went hunting,
and found these antique quilts for us in the local museum.
We think they did good!!
We also stopped in at Lone Star House of Quilts,where we certainly helped
the US economy, and had a wonderful visit with Betsy,
the US economy, and had a wonderful visit with Betsy,
who l met last year, and the other staff,
who were very helpful, even making coffee for the boys.
Now this photo needs no explanation. This was the main reason why we were here.
And boy, did we have a GREAT TIME!!!!
l will be back in a few days with more photos and some tales to tell!!
In the mean time, l will leave you with this quilt. Its an antique that was on exhibit.
Simply Stunning!
Thanks for visiting.
Linda.
