How Quickly Time Passes

-

 A girlfriend of mine posted some old pictures on FB the other day. She was my best friend growing up, and we lost touch over the years, but thanks to FB we are slowly catching up again. Amazing how different our lives turned out.    Even back then I liked to cook and bake - although I wasn't allowed to in my kitchen at home !  This was taken at a friends house where we spent lots of time during the summer months and after school. 



This is Jodi and me standing in front of my very first car, a 1976 Buick LaSabre.  I paid $1,000 for that car way back then, but it was a trooper.  It took me back and forth to the Jersey shore every weekend during my Senior Year.  It may have averaged one flat tire a week, and it did once go completely underwater, but it always ran again (after the water incident, sometimes it wouldn't start up right away when it rained ... I think it developed a fear of water)





Jodi and I worked together on a couple summer projects.  We made way more money then the average girls did our ages.  We both had cars by then, so we were buying gas to get to the mall and back and forth to school. 
They were some very happy times back then.  She was a very good friend, and I'm glad she's back in my life.  If you have an old friend from High School or College that you haven't spoken to in a while, pick up that phone and catch up.  If you don't know where to find them - check the internet - it's amazing what you can do these days !

Gotta love those tube socks!!! You can search for others from your graduating class on fb and reconnect that way.

Love those pics! My 2 best friends from those school days I have not been able to find on FB nor has any other friends been able to come up with contacts for them. Hopefully when I get home in a few weeks I'll see them and get them signed up on FB. I LOVE having FB to keep in touch with so many that you would not have contact with otherwise. So glad you were able to reconnect too.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Design Floor Monday

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
