Of Birthdays and Quilts


I haven't forgotten you all, my friends, but life just got a bit hectic!


Preparing for this.........




trying to finish this
(still not completely finished, will reveal all in post soon when have time)




especially for this Very Special Day




Which is today!

Happy 16th Birthday Bella!!!!

The Birthday Girl has just gone up to London for the day with her friends, then will be coming back late this afternoon and taking the friends to an Italian restaurant for a birthday celebration.

So I have a little time at last for a quick post, then back to hand quilting her birthday quilt.




and then we have serious revision for GCSEs going on and needing support, food, drink, chauffering etc!




So just a quick post today.

Will be back soon with lots of photos of birthdays, quilts, and an update on the garden and seedlings!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, I will try to reply and visit you soon!

  5. Hi Gill,

    Happy Birthday to Bella.

    My niece was sweet 16 last week, I think the festivities went on for a couple of days. And yes, now it's all down to revision for GCSE's.

    Looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing the quilt too.
