Happy Birthday to Me!

Yes, I was born 54 years ago today. I have received some very special gifts from some very special people.

This a collage my daughter, Christine, made for me. The detail is some wood burning that she did using the blue bird as a model. She is so creative.

Stephanie remembered my birthday too with this special mat she made from a tea towel. I am going to add a sleeve and hang it as a piece of art work.

Stephanie also made me this little cupcake mat. Her very own design which she shares on her blog.
She also sent me some Sharpie Markers, very cute polka spools, and a jar of Vietnamese cinnamon from Penzey's spices.
Another surprise came in the mail from Mary. She made this lovely star hanging and sent it along with the cute little hanger.
Mary knows me very well just like Stephanie because she sent me some lovely silk thread and applique pins. And look at the sweet vintage handkerchiefs too. Also included was a pretty little notepad.
Thank you so much Christine, Stephanie, and Mary for making my birthday extra special. I love everything you all gave me.

This morning I met with the Applique Addicts group. Look! Jane finished her Aunt Millie Garden quilt. Didn't she do a fabulous job? Now she waiting to get a call from her longarm quilter.
Sheila is working on her borders for her Country Sunshine quilt.
With Passion,
