Planning for Next Year
Yesterday was my birthday! I spent the morning decorating the Christmas tree and the house. My wonderful husband made me breakfast in bed, gave me a dozen red roses, a romantic card, a pair of diamond stud earrings, and took me out to dinner. All four of my sons called or visited to wish me a happy birthday. I am so spoiled! I had a wonderful day.
This was my birthday gift to myself.
Here are a couple of my favorite quilts from this book.
I also bought about ten yards of Jo Morton scrap fabrics found on Etsy which I hope to receive sometime next week. And then I began wondering what other small quilt patterns I might have. I have some Jo Morton patterns and books. I took a peek in one of the many boxes where I store patterns I've bought through the years. These are only a few of what I found.
Oh, I am going to be so busy! Yay!
Finally, a photo of our live Christmas tree before it was decorated. The quilt behind it is Rail Fence, one of my very favorite quilts. It was pieced from my husband's great-aunt Clara' scrapbag. Most of the fabrics are early 20th century.

Happy birthday. I have that book and I am just finishing the vase quilt in the first picture. I love the hour glass quilt (I think that is what it is) at the top right of your blog. Enjoy your small quilt making time. I am off for two weeks and hope to be doing a lot of stitching.
Happy birthday!! What awesome gifts you received!! :) Happy Holidays!
Happy Birthday
I love the quilt you have hanging on the wall.
