Birthday Weekend

It was my birthday yesterday, September 13th, but the celebrating began on Friday.  Mr. K took me out to eat on Friday night at our favorite local pizza place.  Yummy!  We came home and found Abigail like this in bed.  It was only 8:00pm.

Saturday morning, Abigail and Mr. K came home with flowers, a card, and Edy's ice cream.  I'm not showing the ice cream carton, because it's all GONE.  We had lunch guests after church yesterday and Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie was a popular choice for desert.  Abigail picked out the card because she thought the flowers looked "quilty" and "Mommy really likes quilts."   I also received a birthday check so that I can do a bit of stash enhancement.

Friday and Saturday I spent a lot of time in my sewing room.  I finished two batik quilt tops.  You can't see them because they are folded and sitting on the brown table.  I sewed the panels for the modified Stacked Coins quilt and laid the four different options for sashing so that I could stare, think, and ponder.  =)

I cut out enough 4 1/2" squares to make two sashed squares lap quilts.  One with chocolate brown Kona Cotton sashing and the other with khaki Kona Cotton sashing.  The chocolate brown version is 1/2 done and I can't wait to show the finished top to you next week.

It was a very lovely birthday, I must say!

Love,

Erin
