Whoop! Whoop! I get one more year in more forties! Yah!
Anyone who knows me, knows I love birthdays!
I'm starting my second graders day with cookies to celebrate and then we load a bus for a field trip to the city to learn more about the water cycle and plants. Yes, call me crazy but admittedly, I love every minute of it! LOL!
I managed to get this layer cake sewn into a 6x7 flimsy this week during my evenings!
All's I have to do is add the border and twist it like I did here.
I know this is a repeat gig...but hey, when it's a good thing that's what ya do! LOL!
This is actually going to be a gift to my parents. (I know your are peeking mom, as we're never good at keeping crafty secrets between us. SMILES!) In exactly one week from today...my parents will be here, soon followed by my daughter and family. YAH! We can't wait! This quilt is being made to coordinate with the Underground Railroad I made for their motor home a few years back.
I know my dad will especially find the cozy, soft flannel hard to resist.
Happy Friday Everyone!
With smiles,
Val:)
