We made it to one Triplet Connection Convention when it was held at Disneyland a few years back. Loved the support from the magazine, and from Janet herself. She is a quilter too, and now lives nearby! Congratulations on your retirement - I figure there is a time and place for everything... maybe it will be your time for quilting! Yeah!!

I love the quilts and think it is great that the girls made their own quilts. Wish them a big HAPPY B-Day and give three hugs mom. Congratulations on you lovely daughters and thanks for teaching them all to quilt!!!

The girls were 13 when the four of us took a block of the month class at our local quilt store. And with their 20th birthday this year, we just had to make "Turning Twenty" quilts. I told them I'd pay for the fabric, and quilt it for their birthday presents, but they had to make their own. They turned out beautifully! (the girls AND their quilts!!) And all three received blue ribbons at our county fair last week. I love my sweet girls!
