We’re Moving (again)!! (Friday Foto Fun #96)
We're moving to Albuquerque! This was obviously not planned as I JUST purchased a longarm and got it set up at the end of June. This is also the reason that I've been a little behind replying to emails, posting on social media, and the general lack of sewing anything! It got announced earlier this week, and I can finally share it with you!
So why are we moving? Well, I got the opportunity to move with my company to another one of our facilities in Albuquerque and it's a pretty exciting time there. And here we are moving again after 13 months living in Kansas City. I'm really going to miss living here and being so close to Quilting is My Therapy!
What does this mean for blogging? I will try to keep up with blogging twice a week through the move, but I'm not sure if I can manage it. If I miss a Tuesday or a Friday Foto Fun for a week or two, you'll know it's because life is currently getting in the way!
What does this mean for the Barn Quilt BOM? Nothing will change with the BOM. I am committed to making sure that I have my newsletters, blog posts, and live videos for the BOM. The only thing that might be impacted is the timing of the October live video. Since we'll be physically moving the end of September and who knows when we'll get internet and whatnot set up in the new place.
I am also planning on getting rid of some fabric... think destash and/or giveaway/free plus ship! I'm not quite sure when I'm going to do this, but I'm hoping it'll be over Labor Day weekend. I have tons of scrap packs that I just need to get rid of and not move again! Let me know in the comments if there is something you are looking for, maybe I can help you out!
Don't forget the Beat the Heat Blog Hop continues the rest of the month with lots of fun projects and giveaways!

Well, congratulations! You seem pretty excited. Hope the move goes smoothly for you.
Oh no! My first thought was how far away that was from Quilting is My Therapy! LOL I am happy for you. I hope you got a chance to get to know your machine before having to move. Now you will also get good practice in taking it down and putting it back up. That is a good thing to know how to do. Congratulations on this new opportunity in your life.
How exciting for your and your family! Having just moved, I know that things don’t always go as planned. Good vibes coming your way for a smooth move.
This is exciting news. Life is full of adventures. Enjoy this new one. I am on the lookout for scraps-those tiny (at least 1.5”) pieces for my postage stamp quilt. Most people throw them away.
So you’re moving farther away (waaah), but definitely closer to one of our favorite places (Santa Fe). Pretty exciting, my friend! Congratulations!
Welcome to Albuquerque! We have beautiful quilt shops and nice friendly people.
Oh, my! Congratulations on the new opportunity! We just moved cross country and I understand the need to destash. I am interested in your scrap bags because I just gave away a ton I couldn’t move again—but now I have none! 😔 All the best to you and your family on your new adventure!
You are a busy girl! Enjoy the new move, the opportunities and all that the Southwest has to offer! I’m pretty sure Afton Warrick from Quilting Mod lives in Albuquerque…look her up!
Wow! How exciting! I may have to visit you as I’m trying to talk hubby into visiting Albuquerque over Christmas – I’ll let you know. You can show me where all the quilt shops are!
Such a happy blog post for what is surely going to be a very busy move. It is hard to part from friends and to pack everything up….again. While I want to say yes to scraps, the saner side of me says I DON’T need them. I’m sure you will be able to find homes for all. Wishing you luck.
Congratulations on your new position and adventure into New Mexico! We hope all goes well with the move and settling in to Albuquerque at the end of September! Your new southwest environment might be a great inspiration for new projects in the future. Best of luck to you both!!! Love, Jane and Greg
Too much fun awaits you in Albuquerque! (Whoa! Spelling, with that city name!?!) It’s sounds like it will be a great move for your daytime job! Yay!
Wow, exciting news!
Good luck with the move and the new position.
Wow, Albuquerque is a GREAT city! It’s beautiful with the mountains surrounding it, and you’ll want to take the tram ride as soon as you can. And you might be leaving Quilting is My Therapy, but you aren’t leaving quilting behind! The Quilt Works is the oldest shop in Albq. I think. It’s been there for decades! And there are several others around, too. I know you will find your niche. And here’s the modern quilt guild, in case you’re interested. =) Albuquerque Modern Quilt Guild Best of luck in a great new city!
Congratulations on your new position and your move! I can’t imagine moving a long arm machine and your fabric along with all the other household things that people generally move. Best wishes for an easy transition.
New Mexico is beautiful! I hope your move goes smoothly!
Congratulations on the promotion! I can’t believe another move so soon after the last. Hope there’s a great HQ dealer there as well as stores. Good luck with it all, we’ll do what we can to support you from a distance.
Congratulations!!! I’ve heard great things about Albuquerque; I hope you love it there!
