When You Wish Upon a Lone Star


Sewing as fast as I can to get you some 
good instructions on the Lone Star quilt. 

I'm working on a name for our little sew-along. 

While researching, I was blown away by all the famous people who have talked about Lone Stars through the years........

Lone Star, Lone Star 
wherefore art thou Lone Star? 
Shakespeare

You may say I'm a Lone Star, 
but I'm not the only one. 
John Lennon

Ask not what a Lone Star can do for you, 
but what YOU can do for a Lone Star
JFK

Hitch your wagon to a Lone Star 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I haven't failed.  
I've just found 1000 ways to make a Lone Star. 
Thomas Edison

Star...Lone Star.
James Bond

Life is like a Lone Star.  
You never know what you're going to get.  
Forrest Gump

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a Lone Star
Rhett Butler

Beam me up, Lone Star.
Captain Kirk

 Maybe I should get back to sewing.
