Our offer has been accepted on the cabin in the mountains ---
We have worked so very hard for so very long to make this happen. It’s been a lot of sacrificed hours to make this dream come true!
The sellers are very eager to close quickly and would like to close by the end of June.
This is going to happen quickly!
I should be spending the 4th of July holiday in my new cabin, spending time with my family and quilting away in between!
The rockers are on the upper porch ---
The double doors you see on the bottom open from the sewing area to a view of the blue ridge mountains and the parkway:
The same double doors are also on the upper deck level, where I stood to take this photo. That fence....will be mine!
It is coming mostly furnished! ((Yes, porch rockers included!!))
The only thing I will need is a toothbrush – and a sewing machine!
And some girlfriends to sew with.
Any takers?!
Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful.
I would love to sew with you there!

Bonnie,
DeleteCongratulations, I am so happy you have found just the right mountain home for you and your family. I know you will spend many happy days there.
I hope you have an open house at your new mountain home. Where is it? DH and I are spending next week in a cabin in the West Jefferson area as we do every year about this time. I love the mountains.
Hey, I am available for a quilting event if you have one.
Edie in Salisbury
It looks like a dream come true. Best wishes on your new adventure!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I'm sure there are many others who would be happy to keep you company at the "cabin". But if they are busy, I would be happy to join you!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful views and cabin! Congratulations and hope all goes well with your closing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Sounds like a wonderful place to be--and room for quilting friends would make it really heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI would love to come to a quilt get away! How awesome for you! Congrats and thanks for sharing pics with us of your new home and new fence! :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! That is fabulous. That is just what I've been dreaming of. You will be very happy there sewing away. I'd love to sew with you!
ReplyDeleteAmy
Any time! Ill bring a cutting mat!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm sure you're finding it hard to contain your excitement, I know it would be that way for me :) Love the color on those rockers! Praying all your plans go smoothly between now and the "keys in hand".
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you! I've never been to the East Coast of the USA, and love mountains - what better place to start!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a peaceful surrounding you have. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. It's a beautiful area. Take more photos when you have keys in hand.
ReplyDeleteIt too, am very happy for you. You work so hard and now there is a place to rest easy away from it "all". The best thing seems to be the rockers that come with the deal! Ready to rock.
ReplyDeleteWow, you two did it! Congrats to you both. It does look roomy enough for a few folks to be sewing together. I would love to join you sometime. We have the two houses also. Remember I told you I had to mark my rotary cutters North and one South? Ha ha, the duplication of household items and more importantly SEWING items as you go back and forth. Hopefully you get to spend many days there and not just for retreats. You need some Bonnie and DH time, (with sewing of course!). Wow, wow, wow.
ReplyDeletemy suitcase is packed....but only for a visit. my guess is you might want to keep the locale a secret or else you won't have ROOM for family at all...LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!!!!
Looks wonderful. I could be there in 5 hours. Just let me know when.
ReplyDeleteYour cabin is gorgeous! I would love to come sew with you but Albuquerque is a bit of a commute! I'm happy you found such a beautiful place and you will get to move in right away. That is so pretty, I think I would live up there the whole summer and go home in the late fall! Enjoy Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you've found what you wanted! Yippee!
ReplyDeletecongratulations Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, that is awesome! Hope you have some retreats there, that would be so much fun.. Enjoy, you deserve It!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to be realizing a dream. All the extra effort and sacrificies are worth it. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHow delightful, so happy for you and the family ENJOY ... when you run out of buddies let me know I'll "play sew" with you any time :)
ReplyDeleteMe!! Me!! Me!! I'll bring a toothbrush and LOTS of fabric!
ReplyDeleteBIG Congratulations to you and your family. This must be a dream come true for you! I want to see more pictures, and some day have webcame from your sewing room in your cabin in the mountains! I'm very excited for you!
Pat
Congrats Bonnie! Count me and Cricket in, we would love to come sew with you in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
ReplyDeleteIf it were anyone else I would be envious, but for YOU I am so happy and tickled!!! You are so deserving and have worked so hard for this. Please jot a note to yourself to take the time to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad for you.
Rondi
I was going to say I hope they are leaving the rockers! :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I hope it is all you have dreamed about!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You and DH so deserve your dream cabin!! I would love to come and sew with you and anyone else that shows up!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Let me know when you want me to come "rock" with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your joy with us. Glad you found such a delightful place. Hope you enjoy many hours there with friends and family (:
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you, Bonnie! You surely do deserve a getaway retreat house!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it would be wonderful to come and sew with you at a Blue Ridge Cabin Retreat...so, what do you say? Count me in!
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new retreat!!!
Congratulations Bonnie! It looks like a beautiful place and I would love to quilt with you any time.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, we're all soooooooo happy for you!!! What a beautiful place to recharge those batteries of yours!!! As for company, you know - all you have to do is ask!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll come in a heartbeat! What a thrill - and we won't mention that I'm totally jealous! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you!!! This place is awesome!!! Now you won't have to *release* any of those sweet machines you *catch*--you'll have plenty of room for more! I would love to sit in one of those rockers and hand quilt or hand stitch a binding with you!
ReplyDeleteHey Bonnie, Congrats to you & yours. I would come sew with you, I could bring a feather weight table on my journey!.. Joey
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you...your dedication, talent, persistence and hard work are yielding results! Of course, we'd all love a retreat to sew in, but you really need it to be your private haven where you can escape from all your pressing obligations
ReplyDeleteYay for you! Send me the address and I will be there to keep you company. LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bonnie, the house is gorgeous. I am glad your dreams came true.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cabin for you and your family. Having quilting friends join you is just icing on the cake. I was born in WV in the Appalachian Mountains. Ileft WV after college and have lived all over these United States.I now live in the beautiful state of Washington with mountains and ocean. I've been in Boone and have a cousin in West Jefferson. I was married at the Marine Base at Cherry Point, NC and my son was born there. Let's see, it'll take me five days to drive to NC. Bonnie, I am so happy, happy, happy for y'all.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bonnie! It's beautiful...looking forward to more photos and a quilt cam ala cabin! Enjoy your time there.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Bonnie. What a serene, peaceful looking setting. I hope you're able to enjoy it for many, many years to come.
ReplyDeleteYou say...a sewing machine...
ReplyDeleteOnly one? (Hee hee hee)
che bello ! complimenti !
ReplyDeleteMe, me, me (to quote Pat O). Be careful what you wish for. You will be filled to the rafters with eager quilters. I am so happy for you. You and your husband deserve this. I hope you can do quilt cam at least one time from the "cabin."
ReplyDelete*Squeal* of delight! So happy for you! I'll pack my bag and featherweight and be there whenever you're ready for me! :)
ReplyDeleteSo very happy for you Bonnie. You sure do deserve it. Praise God!~~ Oh, a fireplace too!!!~
ReplyDeleteYou are living my dream.... good for you. So very happy.... :)
Congratulations!!!!!!! What a wonderful place to spend time with family and sewing buddies! What a place to make memories! Anytime you are in need of a sewing buddy I can certainly make a trip! You deserve a beautiful place to spend down time because you my dear are a beautiful lady. All that you do for others, most of it you probably don't even know about. Enjoy enjoy enjoy and know that there are many many many of us sewing right along with you on that porch with that view!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Sewing Machine Will Travel. Just set the date!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Bonnie. It's time for you and your DH to have a "go to" place where you can chill, enjoy, and find your next tempo in life. We retired 17 years ago, and we are just now finding out how to enjoy it without working so hard, being retired.
ReplyDeleteCongrats - you've earned it. Glad the rockers are staying - they are perfect. Sign me up for your first retreat.
ReplyDeleteOh, how wonderful! So happy for you. Nancy: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Bonnie! The cabin is wonderful and I'm so envious of the view you will have while quilting. I hope all goes well and the closing happens on time. We'll all be looking forward to more pictures!
ReplyDeleteHappy dance for you! How far of a drive is it from your house? Yes you have worked hard for this! Looks so pieceful....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations from Vermont, It looks wonderful and wouldn't that be a dream come true to have a chance to quilt with you .... we all must dream .... best wishes Patty B
ReplyDeleteOh I am so happy for you!!! What a beautiful setting. I wish you many years of happiness sewing and enjoying your cabin in the mountains. We live in the foothills of the Smokies on the TN side and I love the mountain views because they are so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely awesome! Hubby & I were just making reservations to spend a few days in the mountains over the 4th of July weekend. We'll help you unpack! Congratulations....you've earned a quiet, peaceful place to relax. What will you name it?
ReplyDeleteWish I lived closer.. I'd be there, Bernina in tow... Congrats, so happy it has worked out for you. I'm sure you'll enjoy many many happy hours there, sewing or not..
ReplyDeleteLinda (the Canadian in your recent Bangor class)
That looks heavenly! I'm so excited for you! My parents live in North Carolina and there's just something so serene and tranquil about that area of the country. It looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteCongrats..you are the busiest woman in the quilt community that I know of. You guys deserve a place to 'chillax'! It looks beautiful in the pictures. What a fantastic place to quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!!! Congratulations and may you enjoy many, many years at that beautiful cabin.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if it will be a wonderful place to get away from it all!
ReplyDeleteI'll be there!!! Quilting and watercolor painting classes in Boone!!! It is a beautiful place! Love the porch rockers.
ReplyDeleteDon't think you'll have any trouble finding sewing buddies, lol! Congratulations Bonnie. Can't think of anyone who deserves it more!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! How close are you to--no, let me ask only if you are in driving distance to any of my guilds: Pieceful Mountain Quilt Guild (Blue Ridge, GA), Misty Mountain Quilt Guild (Blairsville, GA), or Southern Appalachian Modern Quilt Guild (Murphy, NC). I am afraid if you give away too many details, some of us will carpool over to stalk you! Meant humorously, but celebs have to be careful. And you are one of my favorite celebs.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteJust tell me when and where...I'll be there with bells on! :) Congratulations! You deserve it! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful retreat for you and your family to enjoy!! Won't it be exciting to quilt there looking out on the spectacular view season after season! I am sure it is a dream come true for you that you have worked very hard to achieve; just looking at your travel schedule makes my head spin. Hopefully you will take lots of time off to enjoy it! And, if by some chance, you would have classes there, It would be wonderful to visit you.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your bounty!
ReplyDeleteIt looks heavenly! So happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Bonnie and DH. where will the cats reside in that hillside mansion? Already knows where her sewing room is, now which of the machines will stay there? LOL, What town is it near? Cause before long the ladies of the town will ooohhh and ahhhh over your artistic sewing.aka kingcooper0001@aol.com
ReplyDeleteYou and your wonderful, supportive hubby deserve this beautiful hide-away. I know you've looked long and hard at different places and this one was just waiting for you. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! It looks wonderful........love quilting at the cabin with my quilting friends.
ReplyDeletePaula in KY
Oh how spectacularly wonderful!!! Your own little slice of heaven on earth! What are you going to name it??? You just give the date for a retreat and you will be assailed with takers immediately! I'll even drive from Washington state to be there :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and your family Bonnie. I hope you get lots of time to get away and enjoy it. From the pictures it looks amazing!! May many quilts get sewn there :)
ReplyDeleteAs I scrolled up through the comments, I see that you had better not give out your address or you may have hundreds of quilters showing up and volunteering to keep you company! LOL
ReplyDeleteYep, just waiting to RSVP you! LOL! Am so happy for ya!
ReplyDeleteI would love this place as a
ReplyDelete"first" home. LOL It is beautiful. Hope you have many many years of enjoyment. Happy Sewing. Call me anytime. LOL
Terrific news, Bonnie!! You deserve a gorgeous place in the country to recharge your batteries with DH, and of course, stitch to your heart's content. You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! That's truly wonderful news, Bonnie! ☺ I'm so happy for y'all! Enjoy your time in our beautiful mountains! Oh, I can see that cabin filled with lots of warm and cozy beautiful scrappy quilts, sewing machines and lots of love! By the way, what day would you like for me to arrive? ;-) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSo when's the best time to come visit the States?
ReplyDeleteI am so envious because you are living my dream.... good for you. So very happy for you guys! It looks like a wonderful place with all kinds of good karma! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! How exciting for you and your family. Hope you will be very happy there.
ReplyDeleteGrace
Congratulations Bonnie, it looks like a marvelous place, I'm so happy for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteHope you can have lots of girlfriends come and sew with you, if I lived closer I would for sure come and sew with you, I think it would be awesome, but being in Canada it might be a little bit of a problem.
Congratulations! I know how you feel about your log cabin and being in the mountains. When we move here 15 years ago to East TN near the Smokey Mountains on top of the mountain so I could see mountains when I sew. So grab your sewing machine and enjoy watching the snowflakes fall, leaves change and the budding of new life. Maybe if you have a retreat I will leave my mountain to visit yours. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Love that view! I'm guessing you are 2- 2 1/2 hrs away from Charlotte, but much cooler in the summer. Enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeleteGloria
gyates625@bellsouth.net
Yea! Looks fabulous! Lucky You!
ReplyDeleteIf you are in the Linville to Boone area, beware of the weekend after 4th of July weekend. Grandfather Mountain Highland Games happen and there is a major traffic jam/grid lock from Thursday through Sunday. Stock up and stay in quilting!
Missing NC - )-;
I am so so happy for you and your family. You deserve this happiness.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Bonnie! So happy for you and your family. What a fantastic place. Would love to come sew with you, just say when and I'll be happily there. ��

Oh, Bonnie, this is fabulous! You are going to have such a wonderful time there! I am so happy for you...you deserve all this! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Love the view and the rockers. I am game to pack up some wonderful food and sewing machine to quilt weekday or weekend. The cool mountain air in the summer sounds great. Can hardly wait to see how your Family enjoys it.
ReplyDeleteCabin? That's a palace in the woods. Congratulations! Do you need a maid? I don't do windows (except on the computer), wash dishes, clean, do laundry, dust or anything except loll about and stitch. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust returned from my tiny cabin in Montreat. We have had it for about six years now and even though it is 4-1/2 hours from home we go every chance we get. It is like another world. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bonnie !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Love it when things come together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I hope you can lighten up your busy schedules to be able to enjoy with your family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It looks gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteSO happy for you Bonnie! A lovely place for new dreams!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 2nd home and the life experiences you'll have there! Too funny...last November we started looking for a 2nd home in the sun for the winter months and found it in April. We negotiated back and forth, finally came to an agreement. They wanted to keep the furnishings so we were looking forward to furnishing it in the fall. The day after we got home from finding the house I found out I need major surgery before the end of the year and it will be a year recovery. I'm bummed. But I will enjoy your new home experiences and quilt vicariously through you (your wonderful blog!) until I can have them for myself.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bonnie! I'll sign up to be a companion sewer at your new mountain cabin. Just let me know when to be there.:-) Congratulations. You sooooooo deserve this.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful1!! You and your family deserve it. I'm in for quilting -- and I even cook and clean:))!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks absolutely perfect! Congratulations! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOH-OH-OH!!! is this for retreats? how big is it? pictures of inside? tempting us with these few shots is not nice! :-) I can see you spending quite a bit of time there! I sure would--enjoy and send more pics :-) please!!! *~*CAROLE*~*
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! You deserve it....you work so hard.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you! You deserve it! But how will you ever decide which machines will move with you???
ReplyDeleteMost excellent news! Congrats...yes, you and your fam have certainly worked very hard and I'm glad this is working out for you. Bob is always 'encouraging' me to run away and sew/stitch/quilt....I'm sure I could join you along with the other almost 4,000 followers here...I guess we'll have to take a #...haha...wow...there's an idea...a lottery! LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI am only 11 hours away so call me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'll come sew with you and Hot Lips or Margaret or whatever you named your Grasshopper. Lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I am so happy for you! Can't wait to see how you decorate with those beautiful scrappy quilts of yours!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! How far can it be?!?
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! I'm so happy for you and your family and hope you have many wonderful memories here!
Oh Bonnie, your "little cabin" looks so warm and welcoming. I feel certain that you will all enjoy every moment there and such a wonderful location. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very happy for you Bonnie! There is nothing like a dream come true. May you have many happy peaceful hours there... you and your Hunny! And one day your grandchildren!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHadassah
PS I'm packing my bags and will be there for the 4th! :-)
How about some "boyfriends" to sew with too?????? LOL Congrats to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you! Now you need to set aside TIME to enjoy your dream! I'm seeing marvelous family times ahead for you. But if you ever need a sewing buddy, I'll be there. Pauline
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your new cabin!! May you share many happy moments with family and friends. I hope you will be doing quilt retreats in the future so I can come and visit and sew with you!! xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats Bonnie! It is lovely, although I have to take issue with your "mountains"! lol Beautiful view regardless. xxoo
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL ! I'll come to your mountain house to sew and then you can come to our beach house to sew! It is only an hour away from where we live as well...but the only problem is that you are in America and I am in New Zealand. I wonder whether thought travel would work?...
ReplyDeleteOh, sewing there with you would be a dream vacation. LOVELY. You certainly earned it.
ReplyDeleteLucy (in IN, who'd come sew ANYTIME)
Enhorabuena Bonnie, es preciosa y me gustarÃa acompañar en algún momento, pero estoy muy lejos, que la disfruten muchos años.
ReplyDeleteEnhorabuena Bonnie, es preciosa y me gustarÃa acompañar en algún momento, pero estoy muy lejos, que la disfruten muchos años.
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, I am soooo happy for your and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteThis cabin looks wonderful. I already loved it when you posted the first pictures.
I can't wait to see pictures of you sewing there, enjoying your family time and maybe even having little sewing retreats there... I bet this cabin will be the new home for lots of quilts :)
I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you and your hubby will really be able to spend 4th of July over there...
(gee... I am all excited about those news...) :)
Pity I'm too far away to join you. It looks idyllic
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !! Wish I could just jump over and visit you - this place looks just wonderful! You'll have a great time, I'm sure. Now enjoy the goose bumps - you worked so hard for it, you deserve every minute of pleasure and fun this cabin will give you ;-))
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your cabin Hope you did the happy dance on the top deck.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations (til hamingju), unfortunately, I live too far away from you (Iceland) but I would be happy to make some quilt with you and I would do some knitting in these porch rockers ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! So jealous!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So glad it's all working out for you now. Looking forward to seeing pictures of you treadling on the deck! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and your family. Mostly furnished too! All that's needed is your personal touch. You will find those natural walls inside to have a calming, peaceful feeling for you. Might it become your retirement home?
ReplyDeleteso glad that this is working out for you at last, and that you've found such a great place.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! It looks like paradise! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteRemember you have a following of men, too. Can't leave them out. I could bring my wife and she could cook for us!!!! Beautiful place - can see it decorated with all your quilts
ReplyDeleteRemember you have a following of men, too. Can't leave them out. I could bring my wife and she could cook for us!!!! Beautiful place - can see it decorated with all your quilts
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo!!! Congrats, Bonnie and family! I know you are looking forward to a very special Fourth of July! We are happy with you. I expect to see a treadle on that porch very soon!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo happy for you! If you will be viewing the Blue Ridge Mountains then it sounds like you may be close enough to me! I would love to be your sewing friend!!! I know that you and your family will totally enjoy this beautiful cabin!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bonnie and family -- I could so live & sew there!
ReplyDeleteLove the cabin. Did you invite all of us???? LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! You have to be soooo excited! Funny - I was going to ask if those rockers came with the cabin - love them! What a beautiful view and a wonderful place to be.
ReplyDeleteI am SO SO SO excited for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Bonnie!!!! What a thrill for you and your family. I can totally relate. We just purchased a home at the lake with lake views. We will begin moving our things July 1st. It's a dream come true. A dream I didn't think was possible. Enjoy!!! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm in NC and would LOVE to come quilt with you as long as we could take some walks in the woods between blocks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the purchase !
Oh Bonnie...Congratulations! I am so excited for you and I can imagine you and your honey or friends, sitting on that front porch drinking your favorite beverage, just sitting, rocking and chit chatting!
ReplyDeleteSWEET! Enjoy Enjoy!! Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteI would love to sew with you some day but for now I will just live through the quilt cam. :) Thank you for all you bring to the quilting world. God Bless YOU! Janita
What a beautiful cabin and view. I don't think your cabin would hold all your fans. I would quilt with you any day. One of my "to do's" is to take 1 or more quilting classes with you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I'll be packed in 5 min!
Awwwwww Bonnie!!! My heart is full for you too. How wonderful it will happen in time for you to celebrate the Fourth of July with your family. Lots of sacrifice is about to pay off. Congratulations to you and The Hubster!! I'd love to come and sew. Machine and toothbrush ARE ready! LOL Enjoy!! Hugs, Allison in North Texas
ReplyDeleteThe best news, to have a hard worked for dream come true. Congratulations to you and DH may you share many special times in your "Special Place". We had one too, it was where we could be together as a family only us. However, should after a period of just family time you get the urge, we would love to come for a visit. Thank you for all you do for everyone. Enjoy your family and the view.
ReplyDeleteLynda (Potter Quilt)
Congratulations! The cabin and surroundings are beautiful. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Austria!
I'm so happy for you! You so deserve it!
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteI would come sew with you anytime!
Congratulations on your cabin get away! Do you have time for that? jk. I wish I was half as productive as you are.
Sweet! So happy for you and your family, dreams do come true! Wishing you many years of happiness in you mountain retreat.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!! This has been your dream and it has come true! It looks like a wonderful place to retreat to---you and your DH, your kids and any lucky quilters you invite will have a grand time in that cabin (no, more like a log palace!). Can't wait to see the fireworks of happiness that will be coming out of there this July 4th!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Also can't wait to see what quilts you bring or make to decorate it with!
Congratulations! And well done, working so hard has really paid off. You'll have so many wonderful memories made there. Hopefully your far flung extended family will be able to come and visit and enjoy our restful mountains with you. Best wishes to you & yours.
ReplyDeleteYou bet! I will be there with bells on! Congratulations on your wonderful new mountain home. Looks heavenly! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Now, I wonder which will come first, the closing on the Bonnieland Retreat Cabin, or the reaching of the 4000 followers mark? You are only ten away from 4000, I betcha you'll hit that long before the June closing, LOL! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see all your hard has rewarded you and DH. May you and your family enjoy many happy memories there. If you need some quilting companions, just give us a yell and I will grab Cathy and we will be on our way.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck. I hope you are sitting in that lovely cabin stiyching away on the 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation!!!you deserve a happy heart,God knows how happy you make mine and others,just by letting us in to yours.i love quilt cam and watch it most times while its happening and play it while i'm sewwing,over and over.wishing you a happy and safe 4th in your new mountain get-a-way!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place as a personal quilt retreat!
If you ever need company, I'll volunteer. My sewing machine, fabric, etc. can be quickly packed at a moments notice. :)
In the meantime, enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Congratulations, Bonnie! You could fill that cabin 365 days a year with quilters who would love to sew with you.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished sewing the binding on my Roll Roll Cotton Boll sitting in a rocker on a porch looking at those mountains. What a beautiful place to kick back and relax. I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! We had a 1920's farmhouse in the Ozark mtns. of north Arkansas for 6 years. We got it put on the National Register of Historic Places while we owned it. We sold it in Jan. I know how excited you are! I'll come and sew on your porch with you anytime. I'll even bring my The Free brand treadle! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNancy
We just returned from 8 days on the Blue Ridge Parkway in our little Airstream, in Boone at a campsite, Blowing Rock, and traveling through the Mt. Rogers National Forest in Grayson County, Virginia where I raised my two oldest kids, and then on to the Smokies, camping. I surely miss those beautiful mountains and am so happy that you finally found the perfect place!!
ReplyDeleteDeb in Melbourne, Florida
Are you taking reservations :) ha ha I'll wait til you get settled in. Would be a wonderful location for a fall quilt retreat. I live in Louisburg,NC so I can drive up and over ;)
ReplyDeleteOh massive congratulations to you!! I just love those rockers! I love to sit in a rocker & quilt or knit or snooze, nothing better in my books. That view will keep you entertained for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI am sure if you opened the doors as a B&B you would be booked for the next few lifetimes. Maybe you could employ an assistant to handle the bookings LOL. No seriously, that sounds like a good retirement fund idea. I bet you could find an agency that would take care of everything for you & you just reap the rewards. It's a thought?
Glad to see you won't have to wait too long to enjoy your new space. I know you will love it & share that with us all.
Cheers
