The rest of the story.....

which could have ended that day over tea, but didn't. As fate would have it, the very next year, in guild Jenny drew my name as Secret Pat. Of course we have no idea til the very last meeting who our 'pal is...LOL Imagine my surprise when I opened this lovely wall quilt from Jenny. The label on the back reads: "As per the definition in "Webster's Dictionary"- Goat#6: Get one's goat, U.S. Informal, to anger, annoy or frustrate a person.
Sylvia,*giggle*(of geese) at those who try to find out where you keep your goat tied!(Don't let them get your goat!) Love, Jenny L. your secret pal 1994.
The quilt is entirely hand quilted and is very well done. Altho sections are made according to directions from Country Threads patterns, I belive the assembly is a Jenny Original. It's very scrappy and works for me! I never see this quilt without thinking of Jenny and how the 3 way split was mostly resolved. Unfortunately, as is often the case, the new friend #3, continued to come between Jenny and her old friend #2. #2 and #3 lived in the same town, Jenny lived about 10 miles away. And then Jenny's DH helped #3 to buy her first house(in Jenny's town) and when friend #2 came to see #3, it didn't including Jenny. That stuff hurts, and is hard to understand. I can't say Jenny really 'won' by not letting #3 get the best of her, but her anger over it seemed to go away. Such is life, isn't it? But on to the quilt itself....
I love this scenery fabric that she used and quilted in the definition.
The quilt is about 36" X 36". The goat section is about 6" X 8". Those wild stars are a favorite part, as is the goat and the giggle of geese. How about sharing a special quilt you've received from a good friend?
