The birthday dinner last night was delicious if I do say so myself. Mexican food is a comfort food around here and we all love it so that makes it fun to cook. I think the birthday boy was a happy one!
Here's a picture of a new book that I recently bought at The Savage Quilter in Oklahoma City (no web page)
I've posted 3 days in a row...WOW...that must be a record for me. I always think I'm going to post and then I'll think, no that's too boring or I'll run out of time.
Oh, I'm thinking of joining the Cakestand block exchange on the Jo Morton Yahoo group. Would somebody please talk me out of it....please?!?! I'm not sure why I need to do an exchange when I could just make all of these blocks for myself. I'm still on the fence about it though. I've done 2 siggie swaps and I don't think I'll do more because I got terribly bored making and stamping and signing. But I do like to look at the siggie blocks that I have and maybe someday I'll make quilts out of them.
I'm thinking that I feel a giveaway coming on around here so keep checking back this week and I'll see if I can come up with something really good! Enjoy the evening!

your work is always so lovely ...... AND you make homemade flour tortillas?!? are you sure you're not Mary Poppins, 'cuz you seem practically perfect in every way!
Love the cinderberry stitches block, I haven't touched mine. Maybe I'll take it on holiday.
I have that book too, my favourite subject!
Love your Truly Scrumptious - think that is one quilt I could make again. Our family loves Mexican food too - sounds like you had a lovely dinner.
I wish I stitched as well as you do!
And I have that book. It's a good one.
Mama,
you ARE practically perfect in every way! and i'm so glad that i'm turning out to be *almost* just like you :) I think that I'm going to start on that quilt kit that you got me from Quiltworks tonight...or maybe use that as a reward for myself after I get my room clean. I love you!!

hey...except do you know what I just realized? you posted about kara on her birthday and about dad's birthday, but not mine :(
I belong to the Jo Morton group too! Except I never check in and read--my bad! AND I've found I'm not very good with block swaps--not that I don't make all the blocks and all--it's just that I never seem to USE them to make something later. So I've quit doing swaps for now.
Love the quilt block and....expecially the book...
Love that block. Yes, you better get busy.
