Default 65 is a big deal

I am fortunate enough to still be friends with girls from high school. We are planning a birthday celebration because we have been friends for 47 years and all turn 65 this year. I decided to make quilts for all of them to honor our friendships and show them just how much they mean to me. We try and have at least one girls night out every year and are still undecided how to celebrate this big event, but that is when I will present the quilts to them. I hope they love them as much as I loved making them. I wrote the little label poem in my head while riding on the back of my husbands motorcycle on our trip home from Lancaster! Enjoy. (Hope this works, it didn't yesterday and my thread was deleted)
