Inspired!

I am so excited! My Daughter got me hooked on Pinterest, so now my mornings go like this... Wake up to alarm and panting dogs, pour a cup of coffee, let the dogs out, turn TV on to local morning news, open computer, check email, check facebook, go to Pinerest and drink coffee while I get inspired by sooo many creative people! This morning in the DIY and crafts category there were several quilts. Like all quilters, I love to look at other people's quilts. one had a border that is just what I have been looking for to finish a Kool Kaleidoscope quilt I started last summer for a wedding present for a wedding that was in November 2010. Really trying to get this one finished, but the border I spent way too much time on just wasn't working for me.

This quilt is for one of my best fiend's daughter. We became friends after we both divorced our husbands who worked together. We knew each other before that, but as with most divorces, most of the other wives in the group pretty much dropped us when we divorced their husband's co-workers. Fine, who needs them? I had two little girls and Catherine had one, a little older than mine. We hung out and helped each other with the kids, went out together when the girls were with their dads.  This quilt is for her little girl, all grown up and married to her best friend.

Being a Military Brat, I do not have friends from first grade like some people. The best I can do is friends from high school. I started at a new school my freshman year and I was lucky to be able to stay at that same school all four years. Lindhurst High School, Olivehurst, California. Brand new school my freshman year. It took me a few years to really find my place in the school, and I had friends through out high school, but my senior year I was a cheerleader, and got to be be friends with Cari, who was a Song leader. She had a group of friends who she had known for several years. That group is now my longest group of friends. We talk a lot on Facebook and we were supposed to have a week together last fall. When I lost my Glenn, I had to cancel my trip, but they had a great time and I will make it this year. We have all spread out across the country. One is still in California, one in Oregon, one in Montana one in Indiana, one in New York, and me in Georgia. I always think of them when I hear K.T. Oslin's "80's Ladies", just add a decade or two... We Graduated in 1979...

I have been on the computer long enough, I need to get the rest of my day going! I am going to get my sewing room in order today so I can get back to Quilting!
