I'm back from my trip East to Metuchen, NJ. What a great time we had. It was cold (well by my standards - averages of 56-62 most days) and that's cold for me! Our goal was to spend my sister-in-law's birthday with her. Her four adult kids hosted a great celebratory dinner at an Italian restaurant, Dominics. We were treated to an eight course meal and this beautiful cake:
Those flowers were actually made of icing - they were fabulous and tasted fabulous, too - not sweet and cloying as you sometimes get with that much frosting. I loved this fabulously decorated chocolate birthday cake.
On the quilty side, I didn't pick up a needle in all the eight days I was gone. I was going into withdrawls - lol. I knew better than to take anything because this family group is very talkative and around all the time, so I knew I wouldn't get anything done but talk, eat and sleep. But here's a St. Anne's top I finished just before I left using the RSC 2015 blocks for October.
This will have a brown print as binding - a little unusual for a baby quilt, but I found a darling flannel sorry, no photo) for the back. I'm linking to some of the linky parties in the sidebar. Give them a try. Blessings, friends.
