birthday

My friend gave me this giant cup and saucer for my birthday as well as some of those red tools and the bum shaped spoon rest.I should have turned it around for the picture. The cup and saucer fits nicely into that corner  adding a punch of colour. We had a nice outing as her birthday was the following day. We went to the guild meeting in Kincardine then to the shop in Exeter. What a wonderful shop - Quilts and Calicoes. One of us forgot her purse at the meeting and it wasn't until we got to the shop that she noticed. It was 20% off during your birthday week there and they believed the one who forgot her BIG RED PURSE!!! Fortunately it was found safe and sound in the church office. This is about the 4th year that we've gone on a birthday outing, lunch and maybe even dinner. And this year we had both.

practice piece
Double Slice
Finally got a piece loaded onto Bella after a lot of fits and starts. Now to practice and they say practice makes perfect. Got a lot of projects underway and planned  but seem to find excuses to avoid them all.
The brown Double Slice is supposed to be made with a layer cake but since I didn't have one I used scraps. I could call it a Slice of Chocolate cause it's all browns and beiges. It will go to a Scrapbag donation to a male. Joanne had made one but modified to a mini as she is getting well known for.I still have the Oct. SB one to sew  the rows together.  It's the same pattern as the Retreat quilt.I'm hoping to machine quilt all my SB and Guild quilts.
