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

Rain, rain go away ... come again another day.

Brrrrr ... It's raining!

The weather man predicted rain, rain, rain for the whole week.  It's was absolutely gorgeous Monday thru Thursday and today we get the rain.  It's cold and I'm cold.

I feel loose ended and I miss Abigail.  I'm trying to pull myself up by my boot straps and get some simple quilt tops pieced.  Pretty batik squares should make me happy but they don't.  

Love,

The not so chipper and happy Erin

Taking a Blogiday

I'll be back tomorrow.  Today I took a road trip to Zook's Fabrics in Lancaster, PA.  I needed to do a little birthday shopping.  I'm turning 31 on Sunday.  =)

Love,

Erin
