What a Thoughtful Husband I Have
Today, while Scott was at the store he made his way back to the fabric department and found some lovely fabric for me. He brought it home and told me it would make a wonderful head cover to add to my stash. This is really saying something since the fabric department of any store is…

What a wonderful birthday I had this year! Thirty nine is not so bad when you have people around you that love you and a Father in heaven who guides you. Scott and I celebrated my birthday this year by installing a new washer and dryer in the bus. They work like a dream! No…

This is the 5th of May and it is supposed to be 58 degrees tomorrow for a high with 30 mph winds. Right now it is raining, cold and windy outside. ARRRRGGGGHHHH. I am not sure spring/summer is ever going to get here. Well, maybe I can get some knitting done anyway. You would think…

Book Sales on Amazon are Picking Up
My third book in a week just sold off of Amazon’s marketplace. I can’t believe I am able to sell these books this way. It is great knowing that someone is going to get use out of these great quilting books that I never had the time or inclination to use. The money for these…

Preparing for Christmas and the New Year
It sure took a long time to get all that trailer/storage shed stuff sorted out. All of mom’s storage is cleaned out and the trailer is taking shape as a mini sewing room and bead supply warehouse for Pieces of the Past. The trailer looks and functions great now. I put shelving in the back…

Setting up for a New Phase
I spent most of the last week or so rearranging the trailer, installing shelves for the bead bins and preparing the front of the trailer for use as a sewing/craft area. Since we are no longer doing any shows, it was necessary to reorganize everything and set up for a new phase of the business…

Back from the Houston Quilt Show Again
The Houston Quilt Show and the Presidential election are both over now and if one had to be better than the other I am glad things turned out the way they did. The Houston show was down about 75% from years past, but we still made a little. At the end of the show I…

Trip to Houston Festival and Quilt Show
Well, where should I begin? Scott and I went back and forth weighing our options for taking the bus to Texas during the Houston Festival Quilt Show. The original plan was for me to take the truck and the booth and do the show myself and then come back to North Carolina. We then decided…

It is a very pretty park with 500/800 sites and is located at the beginning of the Pamlico Sound where the Tar and the Pamlico Rivers meet. We arrived here in March and decided to stay stationary for a while.…

Installing the AC Units on our MCI Bus Conversion
The first of two AC units are now installed and working. It is really really hot here, I am sure we will use this AC for all its worth. This was actually an amazing amount of work to get these two A/C units on the top of the bus, cut the holes in the steel,…

Our MCI-9 Bus Conversion is Under Way with Painting
We now finished the painting on the side of the bus where the windows were taken out. You can’t see to much from the photo but I think Scott would rather the photo be taken from this far away being that this was his first paint job on a vehicle.

Finding the Right MCI Bus for Conversion, What are We Thinking?
After the quilt show in Fort Lauderdale we headed for Heartland Motor Coach in Ocala, FL (update: they are no longer in business) to look at a few buses they would have that might be suitable for our new bus conversion project (or our traveling home). They had two or three that we were interested…
