I looked at that pattern for a couple of years before I set out on a journey to use up my scraps on one. I finished my quilt a few months ago, looked at it for hours on end while making it and yet until I saw the orange one never did I see the X pattern. I love how color placement and choices really make and change the quilt.Bjwalsh101https://www.blogger.com/profile/13283757010580749027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91094819833006550142014-10-30T16:52:05.112-04:002014-10-30T16:52:05.112-04:00I have enough fabric that I have no problem spendi...I have enough fabric that I have no problem spending $60 for shoes that FIT and are comfortable. I even spent twice that last winter for boots that I wore everyday for 5 months and will wear this winter for as long as they hold together. My feet are worth it!!

I have large and very, very wide feet and cannot buy a pair of shoes in most all shoe stores except at SAS Shoes. They have all sizes and the shoes are so, so comfortable and last a long, long time. I saw some really cute black dress pumps when I was there 2 weeks ago. Did I say SAS Shoes are very comfortable...they are the best!!!

It is a great blessing and time saver for me. I would rather be sewing.

No, I am not a bog horn-tooter, but sometimes you just need to give a quick, light toot to the person in front of you to let them know the light is green or to someone backing up to let them know you are behind them, etc...With the horns we have now (buried somewhere in the center of the steering wheel), by the time I have found the right spot to press (and you have to press hard) the moment of need has passed.

I don't care if I'm in style anymore or if anyone else is either. I like someone for who they are on the inside, not what they're wearing.
