Birthday Fun!!

 A mixed day, mild but wet one minute, sunny the next!! A change of venue as my sister volunteered to host.




Janet had brought along some log cabin from a moda honeybun - remember those?



Caroline was trying a different patterns in order to complete a baby quilt for a friend.

 

We all started with teas & coffees with cake of course, then actually got down to some serious sewing.  Janet managed to complete a few squares before lunch!

     

I was finishing off the blanket stitching around my snowflakes on the Christmas table runner.  See last month for the matching tree skirt!  At least they will be ready for this Christmas!!

Another Tuesday dog, this time in the shape of Dylan, my sister's dog, who came to have a good look at his visitors.  I think it was also the possibility of a bit of extra attention & the smell of lunch!!

Chris arrived just in time for lasagne & salad followed by strawberries & cream.
A few more teas &, unusually, coffees & we were back to sewing again, but not before my birthday celebrations!

I have some wonderful  & generous friends .  It is always so exciting to celebrate with friends & family.

We had a lovely day together for which I say a big thank you.

Alison & I usually celebrate together but she is in Scotland with her mother.  We wish both well & look forward to another celebration when we all get together again.
