Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

It's October 18th

which is Pep and my Anniversary

so the pattern on sale today is

The Anniversary Quilt

I think that when Zoie sent out the email

she put both the "Anniversary Quilt" and

"Jan and Pep's Marvelous Adventure" on sale

so you may find both of them in the store.

If so, you can take your pick or buy

them both.  It has been 56 years since

we walked down the aisle and I must say,

I miss him terribly.

When you spend every day for 56 years

with someone their abscence leaves a 

big hole in your life.

And as I'm 80, I no longer have the energy to  design

6 or 7 quilts to promote a fabric line, so I don't design

fabric any more.

Luckily Deb Strain sends me jpgs of her latest

lines and right now I'm using her line "Red, White and

Bloom" to redo "American Spirit" and "Baskets, Berries

and Leaves"

Pep wanted to be cremated.  I bought a heart necklace

and put some of his cremains in it so now I have

part of him with me again and that is a great

comfort.  The box the necklace came in said 

"No longer by my side but always in my heart."

Meantime life does go on and we have an

election coming up and we all have to be 

sure to get out and vote.

So have the best week with the people and

quilts that you love and I'll see you next week.
