I didn't realize that so many of you would be attending my little birthday celebration - thanks for coming! Did you have as much fun as I did? teehee!!! Thank you, thank you for all the birthday wishes and comments on my 200th post. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you read and hopefully enjoy my blog.
Bet you thought I'd be the only one opening gifts? Well, guess what? I have gifts to share! Remember my mystery tease earlier this week? Well, they were pincushions waiting to be stuff and finished. *evil giggle* I think these are the cutest pincushions and the pattern is free here. I'd love to send a pincushion to each and everyone of you but the postage would devastate my fabric buying budget. I do try to keep my priorities in order, afterall it's all about ME - LOL! So, tomorrow morning I will post a list of 10 winners that will be receiving a pincushion from me! I have to wait till tomorrow cuz my trusty helper is sleeping. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Let me tell you about my day. I spent all morning playing in my sewing room and I finished this! This is Coventry from Comfort and Joy by Acorn Quilt and Gift Co. You might remember, I fell in love with this book when it was released in May. Yummy projects! In fact, I'll have another finished soon. I wasn't feeling very well Wednesday night so we opted to wait a day or two to go to dinner with my DD and her family. I want to enjoy a nice meal. One of my neighbors called to tell me that a package had been delivered at their house so would I please pop over to pick it up. Well, it was all a ploy - it was a package with a gift from my boyfriend Buster (remind me to tell you about Buster another day). He attempted to order the Vintage Charm BOM project but there was something else in the box. I was excited about my gift but it was like opening a gift and you can't play with it because it's broken and must be exchanged. The box just taunts you. LOL
Tomorrow that little problem will be remedied and hopefully my BOM project will arrive next week. I can wait - no really I can! LOL
After that excitement, a friend stopped by with a quilt shop gift card, a very large cupcake and balloon to wish me a Happy Birthday!
When it was quiet we sat and watched my D'backs win a four game sweep against the Marlins. WooHoo! While I watched the game I stuffed and finished pincushions!
A very good day, indeed!
In Friendship!

Hello, Darlene! Glad to see you had a great day!
And how cute are those pincushions! Hope I'm lucky enough to winn one! *lol*
Your Coventry quilt is lovely, Darlene! I love the colours you have used! The background fabric is fab! What fabric line is it?
Best of luck sorting out the BOM!
Have a great weekend! Hugs and smiles :o)
Your Coventry quilt is wonderful...that book is just so good. There are several in there that I really want to do. Glad you had a good birthday...but remember we are celebrating for the month :)
Sounds like a nice birthday to me! The quilt looks lovely! I still can't seem to get energy to do anything! Can't wait to see the BOM. Enjoy! Keep well!
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday - hope that the coming year is good to you. Your Coventry Quiltis lovely - great job!
The quilt is beautiful! And the pincushions are so cute & fun. Now you have to wait another year to celebrate a birthday again so you can stay occupied with your quilting. ;)
So glad you had a good day! The pincushions are wonderful. I absolutely love the quilt top....the background fabric is so rich!!
I'm glad you enjoyed your day.
I love your quilt, particularly the little checkered border.
Glad you're having some fun! The quilt looks great!
Surely you will need MY address to send me one of those pincushions, Darlene!
Wow, your Coventry quilt turned out great! I purchased that book based on your review and I love it too.
Oh, I'm so glad you had a great birthday! Love, love, love that quilt. You always make the yummiest things *s*
Remember: It's still your birthday week (or MONTH!), so keep enjoying it and have fun! I love your pincushions and your Coventry quilt top. Nice job!
Sounds like you had a wonderful day Darlene. Love your quilt top.
Well, it sure sounds like you had a wonderful birthday! I love your new top! I need to pull my book out and take a look at it again! LOL. And pincushions are adorable. You've surely been busy! :)
Oh I'm glad you had a great Bday and I hope the replacement BOM will arrive soon. The new quilt turned out gorgeous of course, the background is perfect and I see what you mean but a fiddly border. I just discovered Acorn Quilt patterns and love them. Oh ya the pincushions are sweet. I like mine on my sewing table.
What a lovely birthday. The pincushions look so cute. Love the stripy boarder on your star quilt.
I'm very glad to hear of your wonderful day. The quilt you finished is beautiful - love the stars and the fabric!
The pincushions are the cutest things! Thanks for sharing the "recipe"!
Darlene,
I love your quilt. It's beautiful and those pincushions are adorable. I downloaded the pattern. Very cute.
I'm sending your fabric squares on Monday. Ok? :-) Hope you had a great birthday.
