Last Saturday I went sewing with the girls and they had a big surprise for me.
They had made me a quilt for my birthday (belated).
It is gorgeous. I feel very special. I came home and showed the family. I think my opening words were: "How many gifts will you get like this in a life time" That's what makes it special. All the girls put in lots of time and effort and I feel very loved. Thank-you to them all. In fact check out Meredithe's blog (the Chief Conspirator behind this gorgeous quilt)
Well what have I been working on: hexagons and hexagons and more hexagons. I am even tired of typing it. But its the last push now. (BTW this is when I usually give up and go work on another project...but I am determined to get this finished). Only about five more diamonds are needing white hexagons. Then the fun bit begins - sewing it all together.
What a wonderful gift - you are lucky to have such special friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my basket - it is a really easy design - I will post a "how to" soon.
So glad you like the quilt, it was such fun to make! And didn't we choose the border fabric well!!!!! (and thanks for the mention!)
