Hello all from No. Ky. Been lurking for a while, enjoying all the comradarie, pictures and inspiration on this great site.
I've been working on my first quilt for a while. Decided to hand quilt my first one. I'm doing a GFG block in quilt as you go. Have almost 2 strips done and 3 more to go. Also have a lattice quilt top started on the machine.
Today's my birthday [63rd] and feeling a bit blue because it makes me miss my parents more than usual. Mom always made my favorite supper for me with my favorite dessert, chili spagetti and chocolate cake. I just can't make my chili taste like hers. Thought it might pick me up to "talk" to all you nice ladies and gentlemen on my favorite site.
Still, I'm counting my blessings..my DH and our sweet and terribly spoiled pound rescue, Sam and our equally spoiled cats,
Patches and Ralph and the abundance of blessings God provides every day. Thanks for listening..

HAPPY birthday!
Sit down and browse the picture section for a while...that might cheer you up a bit!

Hello, welcome from Oklahoma!!!

My grandmother, God have mercy on her, and my brother, thankfully alive and well, were both born on 10/31. Was always a special, shared day. Wishing you a happy birthday and comforting, happy memories.

My birthday was yesterday and I am 2 years and 1 day older than you. Like you, I miss my mom. But I sure remember those wonderful birthdays, trick or treating and getting not only candy but MONEY. I thought that the whole night was a celebration for me.... although it wasn't officially Halloween, but around here we called it Beggar's Night. So I had TWO nights of birthday celebration. It was great.

Happy birthday to you!!

Hi and Happy Birthday, so glad you joined, thats a great BD present. I love it here. No one can spoil us like our mommas. Just close your eyes and feel her love hugging you.
