HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY (AND A PICTURE OF THE QUILT)

The most important news of the day is that it is my dear, wonderful husband's birthday! Oh darling, have a wonderful day - I am sorry I can't be with you, but we will celebrate when I get home. I love you more than words can say. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. If I go on too much longer, you will be embarrassed. So I will stop...for the moment. Riley and Scout, be good to your Dad today. Mind him and give him lots of cuddles!


Quilt update: The big quilt has been sewn together and the aqua fabric that you see at the bottom will be the border. I am almost done! The quilting, etc. will happen later when I am back at home. But my goal to get the top finished will be accomplished. Of course, I should have been packing. Tomorrow is packing day 1.

That quilt is really something! I'm fairly certain I would not have the patience for such a project! :)

May you both have extra large piece of birthday cake!

Happy Birthday to your husband, Claudia! Hope his day was blessed even though you couldn't be with him!

Your quilt is just lovely and looks so cozy! Lots of love went into the making of it and it will be something you'll treasure from your time there!

My sister informed me that she wants to do a family quilt . . . I need to put on my thinking cap and come up with a block that represents 'me' . . . what to do, oh what to do?!!

Take care and have a safe trip home!
