Road Trip

Today was a bit of a journey back in time. My husband had a work event south of Ft.Wayne, IN this weekend and I joined him.  It was good to spend uninterrupted time together and talk about just about everything.

Our route took us through part of northern Indiana and the Heritage Quilt Trail (barns painted with quilt blocks and gardens designed to look like quilt blocks).  We also stopped in the Amish community of Shipshewana.  What a fun place filled with Amish crafts, furniture, ambiance  and a myriad of quilt stores.  I was able to pick up a few things :).

Looking through the shops I kept thinking of the helpful ways certain antiques and collectibles could work in my quilting space.  Steve and I discussed the pieces and how the items I have there are like surrounding myself with favorite friends.  Each piece carries with it a special thought or memory. Gifts from special friends are like having them there with me sewing.  Quilts, furniture, Knick-knacks, sewing machines and miscellaneous items from my mom, mother-in- law,grandmothers all make my space a wonderful place to be.

  15. In one case a resolution has been negotiated with a creditor, obviously the settlement sum is then forwarded to that creditor. It's important to understand, prior to signing up for a debt settlement program, that the settlement funds must be available once a settlement agreement has been made with a creditor.
