Happy Birthday Irish Mom! It sounds like you have a wonderful day planned today. The candies can wait and will extend your celebration!

That's awesome Irishmom, happy birthday 🎂! Woohoo!

NZQUILTER I'm very sorry to hear about your father's deteriorating condition. I hope hospice can bring him peace and for your family too. My mother in law went to hospice and passed peacefully with all of us around her. They were all very nice to us and they controlled her pain effectively to the end. I wish you all the best.

Making progress! Top finished. Just need to find a back, sandwich.... well you all know the rest. Nine hundred 2.5's are now out of my stash! Thinking no border and will pick a back from stash. Fingers crossed I have something on hand. Binding will depend on the backing. Now on to the next 2.5 for the year. Maybe, Impressionist Wreaths by Quilted Twins or one of the others I have saved on my "To Do List".

Thank you all!

Lovely, WMUteach!

Gaijin, are you planning anything unusual for your birthday?

Love your quilt top, WMUT. The diagonal lines of color are so pretty. Today I'm putting together my 3.5" scrappy squares that I've been amassing for years. No special pattern, but it's cute. I would like to do the Impressionist Wreath pattern too.

Gaijin, glad to see my candies made it to you! One of my cards got stuck in a sorting machine somewhere. She got it, just torn, and it was covered with tape. (You can't win...)

Hope your birthday is going along splendidly, Irish Mom!

ibex94,

I just found out that I don’t have to work because I switched weekends with another nurse for his convenience. So now maybe my hubby and I can do something fun. Now I can definitely open my envelopes on my birthday!

Nothing better than unexpected free time on your birthday! So... day trip to a hot spring? Dinner somewhere fabulous? A day quilting up a storm?

Thank you for your work as a nurse. This is a rough time to be a nurse.

Do I have them all?
