Road Trip to Kentucky

Texas to Kentucky is a long ride!  But here are many pics that tell it was a great visit!

KY Sis, Phyl lives in Lexington, KY and we enjoyed beautiful breezes on her front porch!

Phyl and Stan built their KY home several years ago - O - SO - Comfy!!!!

 This Lil One is hiding in the front flower bed! Shhhh - thinks we can't see 'm.

Welcome wreath to the back yard!

The yard, gardens and blooms are so beautiful - no need for words.

 Surely this Lil One knows we can see 'm.

Shall we move the tour inside......

As you can see - touring room to room is also a quilt show!

Wanna see Phyl's studio?

The view is the beautiful back yard!

 Don't miss that lil red machine in front of the window.  I have a close up of that one coming!

Quilt on wall is SO cute!  Let's see if I can make this image larger:

For real?  Yes, for real!  Fabric closet is waaaaay too neat!  Let me at it!

Enough of that - let's see finished quilts.  They are in every room!

How about this to brighten up a powder room!

Looks to me like she actually finishes quilts with those block of the month kits!

What a novel idea!

O look - it is a person!  I realize I have not yet shared pics of KY fam.  Keep scrooling.

Stan is in the breakfast room - and yes, that's a newspaper in hand - not online news!

The patio door is open to the beginning of another gloriously cool KY day!

Rotating quilts around the house is one of Phyl's favorite decorating delights!

The side door brings light into the laundry area - and the rwb quilt is on this wall. 

And here is an 'escape' block from one of the bom classes!

Gotta show this one larger too.  The fabric is beautiful!

Phyl loves butterflies so here is one of quilts that she actually used some of her butterfly fabric stash.

Spring Road Trip to Lake Grapevine - before the summer heat sets in.

Travel, May-2011 finds us in a new mode of transport!  Jim and I have returned to the RVing world.  

In anticipation of longer trips, I decided a local "shakedown" would be a good idea. There is a beautiful area at Lake Grapevine, called Vineyards Campground http://www.vineyardscampground.com/index.php.       
                                         Here are some snapshots of our FUN!  

I actually backed into this campsite,  WITH the help of Miss Peyton!

Doesn't she look like a "pro!"  And then it was off to the playground! 

You can see the rig in the background.

Uncle Dan helped Mr. Cameron at the top of this climb. 
 Uncle Dan and Aunt Candice came for a visit since I was only a few miles from home.

Daddy is supervising this climb!  Tall Cameron became VERY TALL!
Daddy came to pick up the chillens to take them home to sleep.

Our guest at the campsite is not as crazy about Doritos as we are.

Electrifying times on the purple slide!  So cute! And then the slide is FULL!

Pop Pop came to visit too.  He would bring the chillens to Gramma's campsite to play each day.

  

Lunch time in the motorhome was also an "art lesson."  

What color does red, yellow and white make?

Maybe it depends upon who is mixing the palette.

One afternoon we went for a walk to go see the geese.
You should have heard us squeeeeeel when this goose came at us!!!!

We would rather view the geese from afar. ~grins~
and enjoy more giggles-double sliding!

Quilts - Have-to-Share pics

"A picture is worth a thousand words." is a good, good line.  Add an image of a quilt in the picture and there are many, many more words!

Black and Red - what a combo:

 I am sure you noticed that Purple was added for bling!

Those Black, White, Red and Purple quilts decorate the walls of my favorite room where I "retreat" several times a year in Mt. Calm, Texas at The Compass Centre - http://www.compasscentre.com/.  The last pic is the window covering!


Here are more quilts that line the hallway:

Each room at The Compass Centre has a different name and color theme!

 One room has quilts on the beds that are all pink and black!

 Divas!

 Red*Hot 'n' Blue!

 Twisted Sisters!

 Are these flowers pictures on the wall? Or quilts?

As you can tell, this is a FUN place to "retreat"!!!  If you see a quilt that inspires you, it may be a kit.  Check out the shop on the web site.


Hope you have enjoyed these "Have-to-Share" pics!  Happy Quilting!
