especially when you can string them out for a few more weeks hehe.
Last month I had a particularly special birthday and some of my friends made special things for me, I’m very lucky to have such fantastic women in my life.
I wish I had taken a photo when they presented me with a box of quilt blocks yesterday, it looked gorgeous all tied up with ribbon, but of course I forgot…
But I did photograph the blocks today as I was ‘playing’ with them.
12 House blocks
Rose from my little Love and Friendship group organised the others to each make a block from the Le Rouvray free pattern.
A few of the members from my LQG also wanted to join in, and so yesterday I was given a dozen gorgeous blocks.
Big thanks (and hugs and kisses) to Rose (for planning it all) and to Lyn, Lynn, Denise, Irene, Jean, Wendy and Tracey from Love and Friendship and Alison, Jennifer, Fay and Heather from GQ
To show you how much I love them…
Look
finished!!
This will be a great quilt for my new studio space, which DH is prepping while I’ve been sewing
Yes I know there’s something not really right about that scenario
And how cute is this too!!
gorgeous red fabrics and selvages...what fun!!
Bev made this especially for me 
Yes I am a lucky girl.
Wow – you certainly are fast!! I expect to see the quilt completed the next time we meet in December!!
A very happy birthday. You are indeed a lucky girl – the house blocks are delicious.
Ady
Thanks Ady, the blocks are really gorgeous, lots of repro fabrics
and Jenn used smithsonian of course.
A belated Happy Birthday!
Those house blocks are gorgeous!
Love your new quilt!
Thank you for the link to the pattern
Thanks Miriam, it’s a gorgeous block. My blocks are 14″ x 11 1/4″ incl seam allowance so it has made up in to a nice size quilt.
Looking good! Does this mean I’ll have to help move you to the cottage. ;o
Hi Jenn, yes please
Looks like you had a wonderful birthday
That new Studio is just going to be the Icing on the cake!!
Enjoy your week
Cheers
Lynne
Thanks Lynne, can’t wait to get in to that cottage. I have resisted the temptation to just move in without it being repainted but I hated the colour it was. I will really enjoy making it my own space.
Happy belated Birthday! What great gifts. I LOVE that selvedge quilt!
Hi Lisa, thanks…I am a bit spoilt aren’t I?
pleasure hunee – the smile on your face was amazing x
Thanks Rose
