I’m back at my computer again! I’ve been away from my sewing machine and my computer for more than two weeks for my daughter, Deirdre’s wedding!
It’s been a crazy, but lovely, two weeks of family, friends and celebrating the happy couple!

Yesterday, the last of the guests took leave and I took a nap then headed straight to my sewing room. I pulled out a quilt sandwich scrap and was back in action!
This little bird is thinking of you–tweeting “Good Morning, Quilters”!
GIVEAWAY
If anyone would like this unbound, mini-quilt, please leave a comment–either a message for Deirdre and Ryan or just say “Good Morning” and we’ll pick a winner at random on Wednesday!

Thank YOU for being so patient!
One proud, but tired MOB, (Mother of the Bride)
Lori

Looks like I’m the first to say: congratulations to the happy couple and welcome back,
Lori…I missed your inspirations! Please enter me in the beautiful mini-quilt…it could
inspire me to continue to learn quilting….I do think I have a handle on acquiring fabric
and even planning/cutting pieces out, piecing and everything short of actually quilting!
But, I’m not giving up! Best to Nora & Faye too.
