Last week she announced she would be leaving to go work at Costco (good for her! better pay, though no tips, and benefits!). We will miss her greatly and decided to give her a quilt. Rather than try to make one and quilt it in one week, we gave her one I had made some time ago. We just added a new label, personalized for her.
Today was our last day with her, so we gave her the quilt at breakfast. Here she is, posing with her quilt:
Fortuitously, it turns out she LOVES green! Not only that, her 'honey' was at the restaurant this morning and he came over and admitted that when traveling, he tends to buy quilts, esp. antiques. So we know this one went to a good home where it will be loved (and hopefully used).
Warm fuzzy feelings for her and us! What a great morning!
To add to the goodness of the day, I saw my surgeon today for another follow up appointment, and he says I've healed nicely and don't need to see him again for four months! Yay! I'm allowed to lift more than 10 lbs. now, so I am free to take my sewing machine to sew-ins and classes when I want to.
I draw inspiration from everything when Ive writers block. I take inspiration from news stories, from YouTube videos, music, a story my friend told me, your own personal experiences, and anything and everything in between. It is not wrong to get ideas from everyday things such as a news story about a gay teenager committing suicide, or an attempt terrorist attack of an airplane. If you do end up using something like a news story, you have to make it your own. Keep that in mind if you do use those points as your inspiration.
