Husband’s Birthday (and a Picture of the Quilt)

June 24, 2009 at 1:02 am by Claudia

The most important news of the day is that it is my dear, wonderful husband’s birthday! Oh darling, have a wonderful day – I am sorry I can’t be with you, but we will celebrate when I get home. I love you more than words can say. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. If I go on too much longer, you will be embarrassed. So I will stop…for the moment. Riley and Scout, be good to your Dad today. Mind him and give him lots of cuddles!


Quilt update: The big quilt has been sewn together and the aqua fabric that you see at the bottom will be the border. I am almost done! The quilting, etc. will happen later when I am back at home. But my goal to get the top finished will be accomplished. Of course, I should have been packing. Tomorrow is packing day 1.

    How sweet! Happy birthday to your sweet hubby! He looks like a sweetheart!

    That quilt is really something! I’m fairly certain I would not have the patience for such a project! :)

    May you both have extra large piece of birthday cake!

    Happy Birthday to your husband, Claudia! Hope his day was blessed even though you couldn’t be with him!

    Your quilt is just lovely and looks so cozy! Lots of love went into the making of it and it will be something you’ll treasure from your time there!

    My sister informed me that she wants to do a family quilt . . . I need to put on my thinking cap and come up with a block that represents ‘me’ . . . what to do, oh what to do?!!

    Take care and have a safe trip home!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
