And it's only the 4th!! By the time my birthday gets here on the 8th, I should be completely OVERWHELMED(as usual) with birthday goodies.
I had a Nana's Sewing Day on Saturday(past) with friends Betsy and Gail. Dottie was suppose to be there also, but she got lost in the preparations for a trip to Greece. All 4 of us will be Grandma's between now and the end of March. Betsy is first with a DGC due in November(her first). Gail will follow with her first in January, my 10th or 11th or??? is due the end of February(DD#2..her first) and Dottie is expecting a new grandchild in March, her 3rd.
So we had a Nana's sewing day to work on baby quilts, and I showed them how to make burp cloths.
I have 15 blocks of my 42 done, and I will show you those hopefully tomorrow. I'm not satified with my initial idea, so the plan will be changing(of course it will *G*).
Gail is doing a quilt from the Quiltmakers Gift, and Betsy is working on a free pattern, from P & B Textiles site, called Under the Big Top.
We had a merry ole time despite the rainy day, and quite a bit got accomplished. Some pumpkin/wild rice soup and homemade apple cake kept us happy *VBS* Hope you are all finding something to keep you happy also. See you later. Hugs, Finn

Nana's Sewing Day! What fun! And the soup and cake sound lovely, especially on a rainy day :- )
I hope you'll show us that vintage Corn Flakes bowl. Happy birthday my fabulous internet friend!
(Love the poppy quilt!)
Hello, Finn!
Busy, indeed you are, but nicely busy. I agree. When we are of a certain age,it takes more than one birthday luncheon to do the trick. I'm going to keep that idea handy for mine next May! :-) Love the nana's quilting party idea! You are just full of good ideas! Thanks for sharing them.
Blessings,
Linda H
it is good to have friends to be busy with :-)
Enjoy all your birthday celebrations. I like it when they last for at leat a week.
