I’m back at my computer again!Β 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.Β 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)

Wow, that wedding date seemed to come around fast. Looks like you were fortunate to pull off an outdoor event between showers. Beautiful all the way around. Amazes me how you can sit down and turn out such smooth fmq lines with so much spinning in your mind (thus all the swirlies around the pretty birdy?). I’m pretty jerky yet, but enjoying the practice when I get a chance.
