I have been diligently working on my Laura's Legacy 2 so that I am ready for the next one due to arrive any day now. As much as I have grown to love pinks I had to dilute them a little. I think that a pink binding will add the finishing touch.
I celebrated a birthday recently and enjoyed being spoilt by the girls. The lovely gifts were hand made, purchased and baked.
A lovely little gift arrived from Barbara, a piece of coffee themed fabric and a little house that will decorate my Christmas tree at the end of the year.
Merilyn sent me a birthday surprise too. I forgot to include a lovely little tin of sweets that she included.
You girls have thrown me a few creative challenges with these gifts, and I thank you both.
And the last surprise was a parcel from my daughter who was holidaying in Europe at the time. Gorgeous fabrics from Amsterdam and a lovely italian tea towel from Florence.
The celebrations seemed to go on for over a week and I felt thoroughly spoilt and a little bit special.
But life goes on and I am normal me again.
Back to the sewing machine ......

A suggestion on your Laura's Legacy 2... I think I'd leave the binding the same as the outside of the quilt. There's such a nice pop with the pink on the inside, that it might be a little distracting to pull ones eyes from the center to the edge. Of course, this is only a suggestion, and given with the best of intentions. How nice to be remembered on your birthday with such special parcels. You're a popular lady! Happy belated birthday wishes!
love your laura's legacy... so effective... and happy birthday for earlier this week... lovely gifts.... it's nice when birthdays go on ... and on...
