Last Wednesday, my girlfriend Victoria called me to say she had just put something in the mail for me and I should be on the look out for it. She made it sound like it was just some fabric for a block exchange and a little something for my daughter. On Friday, as I was just about to leave town for the weekend, I checked the mail and low and behold look what I got! It is a little tile quilt in my one of my very favorite color combos! Isn't it darlin?! And that wasn't all she sent me. She made a really cool card and included some of her "killer" brownie mix (trust me when I say these brownies are FABULOUS) and she wrapped it in her quilt wrapping paper she didn't want to part with. Thank you so much Victoria! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you! I can't wait to see you next month! You are FABULOUS, my friend!
It was also a very good weekend for quilt book finds! Barnes and Noble, Half-priced Books and Paperbacks Plus, I made the rounds. It was great weekend!
Happy sewing!

Happy Birthday Shelly!!! What a wonderful birthday surprise you received and what a great friend to make that for you. Love the tile quilt. Great books you got there as well.
Sweet early birthday gift Shelly! That Victoria is something else.
An early happy birthday greeting, Shelly!
Lovely gift! And those books looks like a great addition to any quiltlibrary. Love my copy of Liberated Quiltmaking II.
