The first time I walked into my LQS, I fell in love with a Garden Twist quilt displayed there. Last year they offered a class to make it. I fell in love with this sunflower fabric I found (even though it's not the best for this pattern!) and took the class. As I was quilting it, I kept thinking of my cousin, who has always been the "forgotten child" of her family. As it turned out, this cousin was in town two days after I finished it and I gave it to her. She loved it and couldn't believe that anyone would make something like this for her. My avatar reminds me to spread sunshine.

My DH thinks I am having flashbacks to my youth. I love to sing and know most words to a lot of songs. When musical commercials come on I am out of my chair and dancing. DH just laughs. What can I say, hence my dancing. singing kitty. The headsets are apropriate too because when DH goes to bed I use mine so he is not disturbed. I like it loud!!!!!!!!!
We're the same age, and yesterday as I was driving along with the window down, music cranked and my head bopping it occurred to me to wonder what young people think as granny rolls by groovin' to the Rolling Stones. Forever Young!!!!!!

Oh, and my avatar is a pic of our two dogs, Sally and Dodger. Dodge is 14 and having trouble walking now. He also gets stuck, if he lays down on concrete, he can't get any traction to stand up again. So he barks and barks and we go out and help him. He doesn't seem to be in pain, so we hate to think of putting him down.
