I have a Ya-Ya hangover!

Ooooohhh....the dreaded Ya-Ya hangover. I spent the evening with the ladies and we did something that some of us had not done together in over 20 years....
We started a quilt! That's right Dana, a quilt! I can tell you the last time I quilted I did not require the use of bifocals or wine for that matter. Now, the bifocals are a necessity and the wine is strictly for medicinal purposes.

This is a quilt we are making for a tres petite Ya-Ya. In fact, she is not even here yet, but hopefully she won't arrive before we are able to finish this quilt! Seriously, we will have it done. We must, as the shower for this little princess is July 19th. But, last night once again, we worked together as a team and managed to cut and piece together 5 little squares and other odds and ends that will become her quilt. Much slower than we were 20 years ago, but with age comes patience and a much more relaxed attitude towards perfection and deadlines. We were minus one last night, as she is the little ones "Granny Sue", but she was there in spirit, as each one of us is when we are not a full coven. HA!

Ahhh...we may try, but we gals can't escape one another...ever. All of us carry the same brand (except one, we still love her) and that makes us a gang. We are bound by all of the secrets, joy, confessions, heartache, happiness, children, husbands, love and loss that have formed us as women. Our friendship is as unending and intertwined as the Celtic triskle knot (our brand) that represents the 3 phases of our lives....phases we are spending primarily one way...
together.



I know this post has nothing at all to do with Dodger! But, the Ya-Ya's have a way of sidetracking me! Stronger forces pulling me from within! Actually, the pictures have not a thing to do with the quilt, but I forgot my camera last night and the only photo I have of the progress is on my phone. Yuck! Anyway, Scribble liked these photos and I thought I would use them in lieu of my bad phone photo. I promise, my meet the Dodger post will be next. Until then, have a beautiful and blessed day.
