On The Road Again -- OY!!
Hi Guys,
Well, I have been home from the cabin for a total of 3 1/2 weeks and will be off to Texas in about 1 1/2 weeks! We will be in Longview, TX for a long weekend to get a look at the log home model we are most likely going to buy & build once we have moved back to the high country wilds of Lizard Land. So -- besides the log home model, can anyone recommend any sort of needlework or quilting shops in the Longview, TX area? I'm sure there are lots of things to do in the area (DSis has already given me chapter & verse on things like scenic drives, museums, etc.) but I'm not overly interested in doing a lot of "walking around" sight seeing -- just LNS or LQS shopping. Actually, I'm hoping for a pretty sedentary weekend with the majority of walking done at the model home or through LNS & LQS :-). I've spent the three weeks since returning home helping a friend prepare for her wedding which was just this last weekend. I've been hanging drywall, stringing outdoor lights, making ribbon flowers for doggie corsages and generally running around way more than my old arthritic knees, hips and back can handle :-). So -- mornings in TX will be spent at the log home office or shopping and afternoons & nights will be spent sitting around the hotel room working on that NP stocking I'm stitching for Janet!!! I have so much sewing work right now that it's not funny! I'm making a costume for the young man who takes care of the babies for us when we travel -- he needs it by Friday. I have a bride's maid dress to do some minor alterations on before we leave for TX and I have to hem DSis's dress for the wedding and mail it back to her by Monday! I also have a quilt to finish (it's ready to be sandwiched & quilted, etc.) before we leave for the wedding but it's an easy job. Besides, we don't leave until 01 October so I will have the better part of two weeks to get that done and I only need a few days. I wonder why autumn is **always** like this?!?!? Hoping to get some LNS or LQS leads from you folks. If not, I'll spend my days in the hotel room on my fat Irish arse, happily stitching away on the NP stocking and consider the time well spent :-). CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ (RCTQ Queen of Kitties) Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their whiskers!

CiaoMeow ^;;^ I looked at the link yesterday..............and it is hopelessly inaccurate!! There are stores, which have been closed for many years. It also misses a lot of stores, which I know for a fact exist. I did get a email from a lady, who says she has family near where you will be, and that she has never been able to find anything nearer than Tyler, TX Sorry |

Maybe I'll have better luck finding an LQS. Quilting is BIG business in TX but I ain't gonna hold my breath!! Thanks bunches for trying -- I appreciate it :-).
