Happy birthday, Wanda! I enjoy reading your blog every day. I was especially delighted to see the recent posts on using African fabrics. I have a large box full of African fabrics given to me by two separate friends, both people who had travelled extensively in Africa, buying both yardage and clothing (which I've deconstructed). I've washed and ironed all the fabric, but the only things I've made with it are placemats and a tablecloth for the givers, as a present back to them for the gift. Now I've got some inspiration to make use of these beautiful fabrics in a quilt--thanks!!
Happy Birthday Beautiful!!! Sending you my Love and best wishes from central Florida. I’m so grateful for your generosity. Sharing your passion and creativity has opened up my world to new possibility with color shapes and form. You go girl!!

Happy Birthday, Wanda! Love your blog!
Wanda, the photos on your blog, exactly as you present them, are a daily source of joy to me. I'm not even a quilter, but I have an eye for creativity and color and beauty. Keep it up for many years to come!
Wanda, you are a delightful role model!
Happy birthday, Wanda! I read your blog every day and am inspired by your work ethic and your methodical and efficient habits -- in addition to your quilt designs and your use of color. I appreciate your explanations of how you cut fabric, baste quilts, use your design walls, and so on. That even you needed to set aside time daily to work on unfinished projects showed me that prolific as you are, you still might share an odd habit here or there with someone like me. May you have many more happy and productive years, blessing your family, your community, and the rest of us.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for years of inspirational Quilty posts!!
Happy Birthday, Wanda... here's to another year of creativity and inspiration! May you be healthy; may your family, friends, garden, and fabric be sources of joy and delight.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Wanda! Thank you for your daily inspirational posts! At our last guild meeting, my favorite quilt shop owner was the speaker. She also brought a few things to vend. I loved the piece of yardage she showed and squealed when I saw it was Marsha Derse!! (Can’t remember the name, something like Historic Times?) Then I went to Quilt Festival in Houston and saw the whole liine. Thank you for introducing her to me!
Happy birthday Wanda...you are an inspiration in so many ways!...from Susan in Calgary, Canada
Happy Birthday Wanda. I’ve been following your blog for a couple years now and love it. You are truly a master of color and a a real inspiration to me.
Today is my birthday as well. My favorite day of the year! Has anyone ever told you that you are a “Valentine Child”. Someone told me that once and I was a little baffled until they explained that 9 months before November 14th is Valentines Day, Feb. 14th! Pretty special I’d say! Hope your day is special. From one Valentine Child to another. Polly
Happy birthday, Wanda! I enjoy your blog with my first cup of coffee every day and have especially enjoyed meeting you. Your work is always an inspiration. I hope your birthday is spent making happy memories.

Happy Birthday, Wanda! I read your blog everyday. The burst of color from all your beautiful quilts carries me through the day!
Happy Birthday, Wanda! You have been a daily inspiration to me since I stumbled onto your quilt blog a few years ago. Could it be your love of colour? The simple and stunning designs you choose to assemble? The glorious fabrics you use? The joys of nature you share with us? I think it is all of this, but mostly it is your down-to-earth, cheery self. Your spirit glows in your words, as bright as any quilt.

Happy Birthday Wanda, and thank you Vicki for alerting us.
I really enjoy your blog and have told so many people about it. I love the fabrics you use - batiks, Kaffe Fassett, African prints, Australian etc.
I love the way you play with fabric and layouts. It is so helpful to see how you go about it and change things around, giving them time to work for you.
I have started a Double 4 patch - inspired by you.
I bought Sujata Shah's book, Cultural Fusion Quilts, following a review you did of it, and made a rail fence quilt and it is my favourite quilt.
My forest cactus is in bloom and it reminds me of you too.
Your birthday and age will be easy for me to remember because I turn 58 tomorrow.
All the best and thank you
