Grammie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Just droping in to say hello. Still getting moved. Hubby coming from Kansas this weekend to move machine. Been packing and moving all week. Studio is so BIG but a MESS. Having fun folding and playing in my fabric. Rediscovering some of my fabrics again. Took a Uhaul just for my sewing room. lol I am out of touch so DON'T forget me. I haven't got my new email setup yet. Out in the Country it is kinda tricky. I may have to get a yucky dialup temporarily. Thinking of Satelite. Does anyone have this? Anyway. Just wanted to say Hi to all my friends. Happy Quilting!!!!

Grammie Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 LOLOLOL I live in Texas and my husband is working in Kansas. I just relocated to another nearby town. Moving by myself as he is working away from home. My millie hasn't been moved yet. Sorry I assume everyone knows me. Have a great day.

Farmersdaughterquilting Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi Grammie, Isn?t it fun going through all your forgotten fabrics, almost like shopping all over again! In response to your Satellite question, if you are referring to TV satellite, it has been our experience that it is great (until it snows). But if you are staying in Texas you will not have that issue! Happy organizing! KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 So, are you telling your husband that you are moving to the next town over;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRtoQuilt Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Grammie, About your internet hookup. First I would have the phone company check to see if DSL is available or a cable company. Another way for DSL is wireless, which is what we have know since we moved. We had satilite before and very expensive. I payed $600 to get the equipment and have it installed and then it was $65 a month to be online. With DSL wireless it was $100 for the hookup and $28 for the month to be online. What we truly discovered was that we get better speed with DSL then we ever did with the satilite dish and the dish was down more then we were online. Really look into all possibilities Grammie and I wish you the best!! As we were moving I got the local phone book and called every # that was in it for internet access and got as much info as possible. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoquilter Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Dear Grammie, I have satilite TV which is fine except every time there is a thunder storm, the one channel that gets knocked out every time is HGTV. (The only one I really watch) Why is it never ESPN? Anyway, I agree with Char. DSL is great and if you have a phone line, you can get DSL.

kathyb Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Grammie! Everytime I read something by you I have to smile. We already have a connection because my name is "Grammie" to my grandkids too (sometimes even "Grammie-Mama") and to find out that you're also in TX blew my mind! I'm in Allen, TX. (North east TX). So let me know where you're at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjtinker Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Grammie, I am "Gramii BJ" to my grandkids. Sattelite does not work in ICE storm, either. I know some ofTX gets some of those. Right? Put your satt. dish where you can get at it to brush off snow and ice. We learned the hard way. When we moved to the city of Bend from the woods in the mountain, we put it lower on the house instead of the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammie Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Well I am at work tonight but have almost everything moved. Still have to get some window treatments up. Machine getting moved on Sunday. I miss my "Vera Mae". I cannot wait to send pics. Probly by the end of month. Going to get it decorated up first. I had no idea how much fabric I had. Bolts and Bolts not to mention piles and piles of 1 to 5 yard cuts. Fat quarters coming out of my ears. I just love going thru it all. All my UFO's just waiting to be finished. New ideas just popping in and out of my head. lol I have 19 quilts waiting for October 1st to get here. Not taking anymore this year. That's enough with my work schedule and holidays approaching not to mention two weeks in Houston. I have to get lots of samples done and I hope to get my wallhanging sampler done also. I have a "Finding a Longarm Buddie " lecture class on Sept 28th. Going to be fun. Doing it for a quilt club at a local Quilt shop. She will have several of my quilts hanging and two of the custom I did for her. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope I can get the silk scarf completed to take it as well. So much and so little time but I always seem to make it even if it is cutting close. Hopefully the home we have just moved out of will sell soon (Have a contract pending) and well I can be a FULLTIME QUILTER soon. You know me, I get a little impatient but I'm trying not to. lol PS. Did I mention that I'm going to be a GRAMMIE again. Son and wife expecting Number 2 in March of 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter - that just got married a month ago, found out that she is "barely pregnant" - (either you are or you ain't) baby is due around April 30 - unconfirmed!!
