How cool is that...guess it was just waiting for you to come along. Hope you have many happy years in your new home.

What a lovely story. Please post pix of your new home. It sure is wonderful that you gave God the credit for leading you both there. It sounds like the lady might be a good friend, she sounds like a kind person. And kindness is very sweet attribute to have. Enjoy your new home and thanks so much sharing this wonderful news!!! :thumbup: :-D :thumbup: God bless you both.

How awesome for you and your DH. I know you are going to have FUN in that house :lol:

What an excellent find, congratulations.

Vickymomof6 03-24-2011 02:03 AM

Wow, I hope it is inspiration for you to fill all the spots with your own quilts!

SueDor 03-24-2011 03:23 AM

Congratulations on the new house! I am sure the owner is grateful to know that the house is going to someone who quilts.

Wow! That one was meant to be. Enjoy your new home. Be sure to send pictures.

Maybe the quilter will leave you a small quilt as a housewarming gift. Congratulations on your new home.

lillybeck 03-24-2011 04:21 AM

Wonderful for you. I know you are excited.

Raggiemom 03-24-2011 04:23 AM

That is fantastic! :)

I am so happy for you. I hope you and your husband get to enjoy it for many years and the sewing room is a great bonus.

nabobw 03-24-2011 04:39 AM

Good for you

moosegirl 03-24-2011 04:44 AM

What luck the owner wasn't made to de-personalize the home. Every Realtor who lists a property wants it to be sterilize so the prospective buyer can imagine their own belongings in the space. I do not subscribe to that thinking and what to see how the owner lived and cared for the property so I hope your new home brings years of joy. Moosegirl

Congratulations on your new home! Too bad should wouldn't let you keep just one of her quilts to display. It would have been neat to show the work of the previous owner/quilter alongside of some of your quilts.

polly13 03-24-2011 05:05 AM

How wonderful for you. I hope the quilter who is selling is doing so for a happy reason, not because of financial hardship or poor health.

grandma anna 03-24-2011 05:34 AM

Congrats and it sounds like the perfect house for you guys.

grannypat7925 03-24-2011 05:44 AM

How lucky is that! Congratulations!

Grandma Peg 03-24-2011 06:01 AM

Congrats, have fun decorating your new home.

emsunfire 03-24-2011 06:08 AM

I would call this a Divine intervention!!! The great feeling of warmth through her quilts !
I think that is what made you want this home!!!
Bless you ... now it's up to you to hang all your favorites....

Lucky you! Most of us had to build our sewing rooms, your new house comes with one already. I am sure you will have many years of happy quilting in your new home.

As they say, "The Lord works in mysterious ways." Sounds like you're certainly happy and blessed.

luvstoquilt 03-24-2011 07:02 AM

Good for you! What good vibrations!!! I was asked to join a group of quilters that donate their quilts...I declined (and did feel a bit selfish)because I do NOT give away my quilts except to family members that I know will take very good care of my lovingly made quilts!

janetter 03-24-2011 07:10 AM

OH how the Lord works his wonders. Congrats to both of you!!!

luvstoquilt 03-24-2011 07:10 AM

Does anyone know the name of the quilt pattern by QuiltnNan? I would love to make one!

Redcat 03-24-2011 07:19 AM

Enjoy your new home. Great to have a new quilt room.

purrfectquilts 03-24-2011 07:22 AM

What a neat find for you as a first time buyer. Very encouraging and I bet you guys made her day too.

penski 03-24-2011 07:46 AM
