My 50th birthday will certainly be one to remember!!
Karen B sent this wonderful personalized quilt! I am so happy that I was able to meet her last year. She is a special woman.I love everything about this quilt! Thank you Karen!!
I usually get one or two gifts. The excitement has been building as these have come in from all over!!
Amazing gifts!! My quilty friends are so thoughtful! I opened my gifts with four men...they really didn't get it! lol Handmade soap, fabric, table runner,quilt book, (not shown since I brought it to bed to read last night!) blocks....nope they didn't get it. Amazing. Thank you so much dear friends!!
Little quilt blocks from all over the world! Sent to my friend Randy for my Jubilee birthday. After I opened gifts I sat down and looked carefully at each one, reading the little cards and notes and treasuring the names written. Such sweet blocks that will make the most memorable quilt!! If you'd like to be a part of this and weren't contacted by
Randy or
Janet, I'd love for you to be a part of my 50th birthday celebration quilt. Let me know and I'll send you my address. It isn't because I need more blocks, but I know I've found out later about something wonderful that I wanted to be a part of and feel jipped because I didn't get asked.
Love and hugs to each one of you. Ever since starting to blog and just being online in the "old days" I've had the privilege to meet many wonderful people who I call my friends. And even if I don't get a chance to meet you it is amazing what a wonderful friendship can be made online and through the written word. Thank you all who had a part in making my birthday celebration fantastic!!
I'll be writing later this week about my half marathon! It was wonderful!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I'm so glad you were showered with love for your 50th, Lori. You are a friend and an inspiration to so many--they were happy for an opportunity to do something for you. And congrats on the half marathon!!

ReplyDeleteLori I would love to make a block for you for your special birthday! So glad you've had a nice time - it's great turning 50 isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve all the quilty goodness that headed your way, Lori. You've been an inspiring quilter and a leader in many ways for a lot of us.
ReplyDeleteSad but true-guys who don't quilt or sew will never get it. (But then we don't "get" their stuff either, so everything evens out).
Happy birthday across the miles!
I'm so glad that your birthday was as wonderful as you are! Karen's quilt is gorgeous and so deserving!! Can't wait to see your Jubilee Quilt all made up! Enjoy!!
