Here's a closer look at the awesome table runner Sharon made for me. She will be 50 next month!!
I had several people who asked to see the blocks all spread out. So far there are 87!! I think you should be able to click on the photo to enlarge.
I decided to have a celebration of some sort every month that I am 50. I'm already looking forward to June!! Jill and Susan are you ready for me?
Your red and white tablerunner is awesome and such a nice parade of blocks.
ReplyDeleteNice blocks. I was worried when I saw the first picture and no signatures, I'm thinking oh no I signed mine. Then I saw signatures on blocks in the other pictures, feel better now. Your quilt is going to be so nice.
ReplyDeleteLove, love all those blocks. I suppose you will have to think for a while before deciding what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteThe cheddar table runner is right up your alley.
I think you have had a wonderful birthday celebration and that it will continue.
wow, what a haul! can't wait to see it...
ReplyDeleteI got sidetracked and didn't get my block in the mail. It will go out today! Happy Belated or continuing Birthday. I like to Celebrate all month... why not all year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday....I spy mine in that lovely grouping! Your so well liked in blogland girl...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove all those blocks! I like the idea of celebrating every month for your 50th year. I turned 50 in March.
ReplyDeleteGreat table runner and wonderful blocks! Great way to celebrate.
ReplyDeletesniff sniff....I feel totally left out...I'm older than 50...sniff!
ReplyDeleteLots of quilty goodness here!!
Hey, I'm mainly sniffling because I'm older! HA!
Looking forward to seeing all these blocks in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou only turn 50 once so enjoy your birthday celebration.
Wow what a nice quilt these blocks are going to make! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI see my star there the very last one :0) Happy birthday and Happy sewing
What a stash oʻblocks! Plus autographs!
ReplyDeleteI was walking up the hill to view the sunset, and the lightbulb went off! CW repros. Got it! Then I came home to your email for confirmation.
I suspect the CW motif/flavor will be a challenge in these parts. Brights and very brights are the more common fare.
Happy jubilee!
Hope you have a great year Lori. Great birthday blocks! LOVE the runner from Sharon and the red and white quilt also. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Lori! (I'm sorry that I'm late, but I've had family here for the last two weeks and haven't been on the computer much.) The blocks all look wonderful together (I see the one I made in the mix too) they are going to make a fantastic quilt! Again, happy 50th...I'll join the club in October!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful blocks and gifts for your special year, a memory you will always treasure.

I like your idea of celebrating every month! Your blocks are great! I'll get mine in the mail to you soon. I remember when I had my 50th, we were visiting our son who was in Wisconsin at the time with my parents & sister. We went out to eat several times and every place we went, my sister told them it was my 50th birthday so I would get the birthday cake! Might as well celebrate!
ReplyDeletean awesome table topper indeed~!

Reading quilting magazine's was like eating chocolate. Not only was it me time, it was enjoying the flavor, reading everything from cover to cover. I still have some of my old copies from the 1990-2000. They all had that extra dimension. Not all the same looking quilts, each one unique and different. Quilters Newsletter magazine did the eye candy "Heritage Medallion" quilt, McCalls Quilting the "Grandma's Country Album" series, Better Homes and Gardens had Thimbleberries, homespuns, the butterfly quilt. To name but a few. We did not have Fabric companies controlling and dictating strips, squares, with which to quilt with. We had to learn how to cut and do, the element of the challenge was there. Jinny Beyer was inspiring to quilting, like so many others. Now everyone wants it on a platter, the fabric did not follow a journey to be produced, they turn them out like fast food, how many of these lines have no appeal, but we are suppose to get excited about them? The advertisements in the magazines was fun, you learnt about products, gadgets and fabrics. I remember seeing an ad for this gadget by thethimblelady.au, that ad stuck, recently a fellow quilter wished for some invention to be invented. I came home, looked through all my quilt magazines and passed on the information. In Japan one cannot just say I am a quilter, they go to university to learn how to be a quilter. No wonder they turn out creations that make us drool. If I could I would go to one quilt show, the one in Japan in November, for one reason only, to feed my inspiration on a level that it wants to be fed, not at one that is not even close. Food for thought, I think.....
