The Masters Have Returned ...

... to their proper place

After serving as the Queen Mother Suite for 10 years, 
the master bedroom finally has been relinquished to its rightful owners.  

Master  Bedroom
It's only taken us 9 months to get to this point.  First, we had to find a home for all of MIL's medical equipment.  Then we had to replace the sheet vinyl flooring we installed for her when we moved in to facilitate general cleanliness and movement of her wheelchair.  Then the painting commenced.  Then the room became the repository of many things while the rest of the house was painted.  There was the recent addition of blinds on the windows.  Oh, and there were a couple of major holidays along the way, too.

The bed has my favorite quilt on it -- Blooming 9-Patch (pattern by Blanche Young), the biggest (maybe second biggest) quilt I've ever made.


I don't remember what type of batting went into it, but it has the lightest, most flexible hand.

This little corner with the antique rocker and antique sewing table will be my slow stitching spot.


All finished just in time to list this house for sale.  On Wednesday we made an offer on a house in a resort community 100 miles east of here and the offer has been accepted!

Those of you who have followed me for several years know that this has been an up-and-down ride.  And the ride is not over yet!  Don't be anxious if I'm absent from the blog over the next few months as we start the move. 

Here's a little preview, though -- the cutest fabric room ever!

Fabric storage and cutting
It was an exercise room for the former owners.  The attached bedroom, visible through the door, will be my sewing room.  Solid surface floors in both rooms will make cleanup easy!

  1. Glad to know that the renovations have gone well (all done now?) and that you've found a new house that you like. The checkerboard floor zings! Love the stand (as those small side tables are called).
