Sisters, Sister, there were never such devoted sister.

SO, I have two beautiful, amazing, talented, and creative sister. Who happen to older than I am and everything a sister should be. They are my best friends and have been best enemies at times. They are confidants and tattle tales, they are fellow warriors on no bed time and invading army in your room when you very clearly have NO TRESPASSING posted on your door. And in later years have truly become my kindred sprits. We are very similar in many ways and in just as many ways we are very different. I bring this up because my sister Kelly has been posting on her blog all about the quilt she has been making for her living room. How easy it has been to fallow the directions she has been using for said quilt. I have this same book and am also making a quilt out of it. I found my self wondering what directions she was talking about and why I didn't think Mine were so easy to fallow. As I have been making my quilt, I have found my self being really frustrated that I would finish a block and it would not match up and it just didn't look right. When I would go back and look at the directions I would wonder where I went wrong and I could never find anything. THEN, I realized, It really really helps if you, A) read the instruction and B) fallow said instruction from start to finish. I have this really nasty habit of looking at the pictures, glancing at the directions, then diving in and never looking back until something has gone horribly wrong. When all is said and done, I blame the book for bad instructions. Not my inability to sit still long enough to read the instructions. I also have a nasty habit of building onto existing patterns and making it up. So, really its not the books fault but mine. Most of the time, what I end up with is actually kinda cool, but there are some very mutilated projects that are hiding in my closet or are cannibalized into other projects. So i guess it comes down to those that read and fallow the instructions, and those that make them up. Neither one is better than the other, but the latter is more fun.

These are a few blackmail pictures I have my sisters

 The lovely red head is Keri and she is the oldest and the one holding the bunny is Kelly and she in the middle 

I love my sisters dearly and would not trade our differances for the world, even the ones that make we want to only child (well, maybe those if we are being honest : ) )

I love you guys, your the best.
