Thank you everyone for such a wonderful birthday!!!   We had such great weather too!

Jackie's wild animal quilt

I love this quilt that Jackie has made!  It has a lot of different prints with African animals, like elephant, rhinos, lions.  It includes some partially made "wonky" log cabins that I had started years ago and gave to Jackie.  I love the "lightening bolt" and the fabrics with the tiger stripes.  I especially like the stripes with the grey circles.  I think it is so dynamic because of the angles.

Declan being very helpful

I should have included this picture of Declan helping his granma bind a quilt in the last post but didn't remember it until today. He's being a very helpful boy making sure neither granma or the quilt get away!

Four-footed helpers

Another set of pictures I've been meaning to post for a while of furry helpers (some more helpful than others!):

Declan making sure my Garden View shawl doesn't get away before I can block it.

Snowflake and Simba making sure there are no monsters in Clara's machine cover - they hide, you know.
