It's Wanda's Birthday!!!!

Wanda in her Garden - Summer 2018
Shhhh….(Vicki here…Wanda’s daughter) I’m sneaking onto the blog today to tell you that it’s Wanda’s 78th Birthday.  

Let’s show her how much we appreciate her dedication — over a decade of daily quilting inspiration!

Post a ‘Yes’ below in the comments…(or write a short note) if you read her blog.  

I know she has more readers than she realizes...let's show her the love:)

xo,  Vicki

You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing with us.

Rose said...

Happy Birthday, Wanda. I, as others have also commented, look forward to reading your blog every day. Your blog is inspiring and so well done---both pictures and information. I love where I live but have often wished that if I lived closer to where you are I could meet you and maybe take a class from you-- maybe some of your talent would rub off onto me. It would be fun to merely see your fabric in all its abundance. Thank you for the blog.

Happy Belated Birthday, Wanda. You have been a source of inspiration for me as I walked through some challenging years. Many times I lived vicariously through your won quilts. I love you sense of color and willingness to go a different direction in your quilts. It has made me bolder and more experimental in my own work. Thank you. And Thank you for having a lovely family who supports you and your work.

Peace to all.

Hi Wanda, Birthday wishes to you from Mallabula, Australia. I love watching what you create. Sometimes, at the beginning, I wonder what possesses you to choose the fabrics you do, BUT then when it goes together I see that you are great with colour choices. Keep up the good work.

Happy belated birthday Wanda from Connecticut!!! Love reading your posts, you are amazing! I bought one of your color wash wall hanging as a birthday present to myself a few years ago, and I admire it everyday! God bless you and yours

suzanprincess said...

Happy birthday, Wanda! I'd say belated, except I believe in celebrating a birthday as long as possible (my record so far was 30 consecutive days of birthday-related contact, e.g., phone call, email, card by mail, meal with friend, etc.)so I'm just helping to extend your celebration. Hope it's long and happy!
From suzanprincess, a long time, devoted follower--I love your blog! It's frequent, interesting, short, and includes details.

JustGail said...

Belated Happy Birthday, Wanda! And many thanks, even though my bank account and fabric shelf space don't agree :-) for making quilts that made me fall in love with Kaffe collective fabrics combined with batiks.

Unknown said...

By now a bit belated, I still will send birthday greetings from Virginia! I enjoy seeing your beautiful, colorful quilts, and also the pictures of your pretty plants. Thank you for sharing!
