Crossed Paths Again…

Life is funny sometimes.

Back in the 80’s (yes, I am that old), my parents moved back to the first home they built in Iroquois. At the time, I was not impressed as being an introvert, I had to start another new school. It was the middle of the school year when I was in grade 2 & this was the 3rd time since kindergarten that I had to start another new school.  It’s tough to show up to a new school in the middle of the school year & even harder when you are shy.  I don’t remember how long after moving back to Iroquois that I made new friends but one of my new friends was Wendy.  Wendy lived at the end of our road & we became instant friends riding the school bus together & playing at each other’s homes after school, weekends, summer holidays etc…We remained friends all through public school & high school. Sadly after high school we lost touch with each other-remember, cell phones didn’t exist back then nor did email-told you I was old 😂!  Fast forward 30 years later & our paths cross again!  Wendy started working at the same hospital where I work & as we were getting reacquainted, we discovered that we both love to quilt!  How neat is that!  Our life paths took us in different directions only to bring us back together again all these years later!

This is one of Wendy’s quilts that she pieced & was the first quilt that I quilted on my new Statler!!  Being this quilt was going to a wee one, I opted for a cute little baby motif edge to edge. Glide thread was used along with Hobbs 80/20 batting.  Isn’t this quilt adorable!!

 

Thank you Wendy for trusting me to quilt my first computerized quilt on your art piece!  And now thanks to Facebook, cell phones & quilting, Wendy & I will never loose touch again!

Thanks for stopping by!
