Showing the quilts.............









I was showing someone my recent finishes yesterday and I left the quilts out overnight on the couch, coffee table and bench.  They are relaxing.  😊


Here is another batch of them on the love seat.  It's fun to see them all out together.

Today is a big day.  I made it to 85!!  My goal at 80 was 83, my goal at 83 was 85.  Now I have to pick a new goal.

  15. Happy Birthday Wanda! And wishing you many more! Your quilts are beautiful. They look gorgeous around your living room. Speaking of goals, I just moved back to my family home. After my dad passed away, i did a few updates to the house. The biggest update was the bathroom - removing the tub and replacing it with a walk in shower. My mantra over the past 6 months has been "it just needs to last for 20 years". I'm now 62 so my current goal appears to be 82! Hopefully I will be able to widdle away at the sizable stash I have accumulated! I hope you have a wonderful day today and get to update your goal for many more years!

  19. Happy Birthday Wanda ! Like many of the others, I read you every morning and your colorful photos set the tone for my day, as well as inspire me. I'm will be 79 in January, and if the size of my stash suggest how long I hope to live, my goal must be past 100 ! I will need to live a long and fruitful life to use it up. That's a joy-filled goal !

  55. Happy Birthday, dear one! May you live in good health for many more years to come. Yes, that’s also a selfish wish because so many of us love you so from afar! And we’re all probably wishing another thing - that we could’ve seen your quilt show in person!! xo
