A Happy Birthday wish to my sweet Mom. She is out and about with her sister today and I pray she is having a wonderful day. She is in the middle of reading "The Help", so calling her can be dangerous! LOL Once she finishes, we are going to see the movie! I can't wait!!All the blocks for Isla's raffle quilt are in. One block all the way from Israel is in there! ALL of them are beautiful and will make the perfect quilts. There are 48 blocks, which is PERFECT, cause the leftover 16 will go into a little quilt for Isla.
I played a little with the placement. I think it will be a stunning quilt.... 
It will be ready to go to Coleen in about a week! Coleen just posted a pic of her most recent customer quilt. Her quilting is so wonderful, and I am honored she is willing to do this one!
My own quilt is in the hoop and after getting the Crossroads block and a couple of sashing strips quilted, there is a place for me to rub my hand over and feel the quiltiness of what this quilt will become!
Can you guess how I am spending my Saturday afternoon?? Oh yeah! Now I just need a hot cup of coffee next to me, cause it is COLD outside!
Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup for dinner. It is such a crisp September day, that it had to be soup! Now I am off to get that cup of Hazelnut coffee and grab that quilt back up! Praying you are having just as wonderful a Saturday afternoon!

Happy Birthday to your mom!!! :)
Bren you are BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for including this pic of you. :) That's the longest I've seen your hair, and it is just gorgeous on you. Long hair makes me look ancient any more.
Hope you have a happy Sunday!

Happy Birthday to your Mother. May God bless here with many more.
Love your pics, Bren, just lovely. Haven't heard from you for a very, very long time.
Take a peek at our blog today ...
Have a beautiful weekend.
TTFN ~

You are definitely a dead ringer for your Mum - hope she had a lovely day. I am really sorry Bren - I made you some blocks and completely forgot about them - what a failure ! In my defence I have been poorly with tonsilitis but that's no excuse. It is going to be a lovely quilt xxx
Bren, I love the picture of you sitting with the quilt in your lap. You look so comfy. Happy birthday to your mom. I hope she has enjoyed herself today. Isla's quilt is going to be great. I am so glad you got enough extra blocks to make her one too. Have a blessed Sunday, friend.
Happy Birthday to your mom....looks like you had a wonderful Saturday!
You and your mom are both beautiful women, Bren! Beautiful! I love the picture of you. Your hair is so long and lovely. The UGRR quilt is coming along nicely.
Happy Birthday to your Mom.
After reading the book, my Daughter and I went to see the movie...we enjoyed it.
I'm glad you got the blocks you needed. It is interesting to hear where they all originated.
Blessings,
Mama Bear
What a great photo of you, Bren! Your quilts are gorgeous, as always!
Great pics of both of you!!! Send me some of that cool weather!
