I’m having a great day…

Thanks Jenn, thanks a bunch...s'cuse the pun.

It’s my birthday and I got these lovely flowers (and a bit of fabric) from my good friend Jennifer of 5foot1quilts.

I finished quilting her Teardrop Medallion quilt the other day which she is hanging in the Goldfields Quilters Exhibition this coming weekend.  It features a lot of Smithsonian fabrics so was a delight to work on.

We’ll get better photo’s at the Exhibition, this one is just me holding it up so it’s a bit skewiff.

Last week my mobile phone died (well not exactly died but started behaving very erratically) after 1 year and 364 days of a 2 year contract.  It was very timely because for my birthday I treated myself to this…

happy birthday to me...iphone 4 and it's all mine.

And I also got a couple of facebook birthday greetings, one from my ‘best friend in high school’…I’m feeling pretty special.

I am working today though, not taking a birthday ‘sickie’. Violet the trusty long-arm (and me) has been working overtime in readiness for the Exhibition, so today she is having a rest but I am on the computer finishing off the Banyan Tree Medallion Quilt pattern.
