Kay Anderson Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Well folks, life has changed again! Back in May I sold my longarm and was prepared to move (ugh, again!) and just retire and sit all by myself at home. Nope, not what God had in store for me! Got moved into the new place (our house sold in 3 days!!) and started to settle in. Been here just 6 weeks and I've found a new "quilty" home. Took a part time job there as "Artist in Residence". I'll be teaching and doing quilting. Guess my longarm career wasn't ready to die. Wish me luck, start my second week on Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Anderson Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 We are now in Sealy, TX. This little town looks like it just popped out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Old Victorian homes, tons of mature trees, cute little park right in the middle of town. With a lot of covered picnic tables and a splash pad for the children. A quiet town (if you don't count 44 trains a day right through the middle of town, but they do have a quiet no train horns zone) and only about 35-40 miles from Houston on I-10. The quilt shop is in the old downtown area. Sealy is in Austin county Texas. The original Stephen F. Austin settlement is nearby. Lot's of Texas history here. Oh, I will finally get to go to the Houston Quilt Market and the show this year!! I am so excited about that. I've never been before. I lived in Sugarland, TX about 14 years ago and worked in Houston. But I wasn't big into quilting at that time and worked full time as an engineering tech.

aleksich Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 You are making me want to get to Texas even more now. I wanted to go to Killeen to see my daughter in law, now it looks like we have to add a little site seeing in our trip when I get there. Sounds like a little piece of heaven.

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 That is fabulous and congratulations! I can only imagine how thrilled you are - I have many times thought I knew the direction my life would go...and then quilting pulled me back in. It is this amazing club that we just cannot quit! Well folks, life has changed again! Back in May I sold my longarm and was prepared to move (ugh, again!) and just retire and sit all by myself at home. Nope, not what God had in store for me! Got moved into the new place (our house sold in 3 days!!) and started to settle in. Been here just 6 weeks and I've found a new "quilty" home. Took a part time job there as "Artist in Residence".
