Just what I needed today

I received my quilt in the mail today. Thank you so much, Trudy. It is so beautiful. Perfect timing for me as I am having one of those tough times we go through with children growing up! A hug was just what I needed today <3 You are so thoughtful Trudy, thank you for that too. Love you <3

Here are the rest of the pictures, sorry they got out of order.

Hi Everyone! Here are some pictures from Lily's second birthday party (June 14th). Phillip, Lily and I were in Washington state visiting Phillip's brother, his wife and new baby until the day of her birthday. Mom was kind enough to plan a birthday party for her while we were gone. All I had to do was show up! It was awesome! Mom did such a fantastic job. Everything was so creative, and of course made by hand. Mom, thank you so much for all your time, money and effort. Lily had such a great time and I think we all made some wonderful memories.

The Sister Quilt Project

About a year and a half ago I was talking to Bonny and during the conversation I really wanted to give her a hug. I decided to make her a quilt so she could at least wrap herself up the next time she needed a sister. But as I was gathering the material I thought that it wasn't fair to make one for her and not all of you. You might remember me texting you for your favorite Colors. The end results are in the previous post. Each quilt back has 5blocks with a special one in the position of your birth. Each binding has a bit of each quilt starting with mine and progressing in order 1-5 so that you all have a small swatch from each quilt. Of course I am not happy with it all but it was a learning process and have enjoyed making them. My quilt is almost finished so I'll post it later. These are Happy Birthday presents a little late or early which ever the case may be. I love you all. I am mailing them within this next week. The top quilt all yellow/brown is Nicci's. The next one is Cindy's. The purple is Candy's and the one on the bottom is Bonny's.HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
