    My mom was a quilter, I am still just a wannabee, so a kit looks like a good beginning to me!

  12. I quilt with two quilting buddies who never leaves my side - my own grandmother and my husband's grandmother - although both have passed away, they are always in my mind when I begin and end. I have four quilts (one from first, three from the second) and they make me smile. Congratulations for your successes, including your family.

  16. Happy Blogiversary and Happy Birthday to your beautiful girls. You are truly blessed Deonn. My nest is empty now so I don't have any in person quilting buddies. I enjoy my online quilting friends and their inspiration and encouragement. I hope I win the the table runner kit. Purple is my favorite color, and three is my favorite number (three boys, three dogs, use to have 3 cats). lol

  17. Wow! Triplets! What fun! I'll bet, though, that it feels as if the last 22 years just flew by now that they are over. It may be their birthday, but you are the one who gave birth, so you get to celebrate, too! That is a darling table runner. Thank you for the opportunity to win the pattern. ~karen

  23. How blessed you are with those three beautiful daughters.
    My older sister is my sewing buddy, we go on retreats together. I also love reading my favorite quilting blogs. I get some much inspiration from those quilting buddies.

  24. I don't have any quilting buddies yet. I just started quilting and just recently moved to a new town and state for me, so I don't know many people yet. But through wonderful blogs like this one, I am meeting all kinds of wonderful people. Plus I did just start an online quilt along, so I should get to know more people soon.

  25. Most of my quilting buddies are in blogland, but I have a few in real time too. Such fun to get together. Happy birthday to your girls and to your blog.

  26. Happy birthday to your girls! Wow! Triplets!!! That's so cool! I have 3 daughters-- ten years difference between the oldest and the youngest... each one very unique and the best thing in my life... :-) Now-- as to my quilting friends... I am lucky to have an Aunt who graciously opens her home to myself, one of my sisters and several local friends.. We get together every Wednesday to sew, visit and just enjoy one another's company.. Also, through the internet I have made some wonderful quilting friends-- and hope that one day we can actually meet in person!
    Thank you for the chance to win the beautiful table runner kit! I LOVE it! I am always drawn to things of three--- and the color is also perfect-- the birthstones of myself, my girls, and my Mom and my new little granddaughter are all either purple, lavender or green, so those colors are always two of my favorites!

  28. I can't even imagine doing everything in 3's! You looked soooo young. I guess it would take someone young to chase triplets.
    Happy Birthday to your girls!

    My mom was my quilting buddy. I helped her piece quilt tops to sell. That's how I learned to sew.

    My BFF who is my quilting buddy unfortunately lives 4+ hours away so I don't get to hang with her nearly enough. My other quilting friend moved down south. So I don't have anyone local to shop hop with.

  54. Wow. All kinda of Happy "fill in the blank" over here. LOL Kidding ~ Happy birhtday to all those beautiful girls of yours. Wow! HOW in the world did you live through three girls Deonn? I had twin boys and another 2 1/2 yrs older than the twins. How lucky to have quilting buddies right in your own home. Fun stuff. I've got no buddies near me to speak of. There are a few I've emailed with off and on that are within about 2-3 hrs of here but that's about it. I'm kind of ok with that although at times I wish there was someone closer. I've been working on my son's fiancee to get her interested in learning. She's wanted to learn but they live an hour from here and only have one car so right now it's not working. I keep telling (warning really) her that when I go THIS (we're usually talking in my sewing room) is ALL hers. Last November she started telling me I am not allowed to buy anything else. HA I think she's afraid of where she'll put it all but, it's not all put away right now so it's not that bad.
