Design Wall on a Sunday... and Happy Birthday Grampa!!!



Oh my goodness!  I love this block!  All of a sudden there are 25 of them!  I am using the block tutorial here after seeing a quilt entered in the Blogger's Quilt Festival!  I was inspired.  I really love her colour choice too but for some reason, I decided to make mine in blue and green.  I am using scraps again with a some greens from the stash too.

 I didn't get a ton of sewing done this weekend as it was spa and card ladies yesterday and we celebrated my Grampa's birthday today at my wonderful Aunty's house.  It was a gathering of the clan in honour of Grampa's 94 birthday!!!!  He says he will accept birthday wishes but says "94" is just a number!  Happy birthday, Grampa!!!!!

Looking good!
Linking up with Judy's design wall Monday!!!  and linking up too with Canada's own Needle and Thread Network!!!

  3. What a dear, happy looking Grandpa! Make the moments with him last. Have you been asking him questions about his younger days? I'm sure he's lived a fascinating life.

    I too love that quilt. I'm going to jump over to the other site and take a look. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Very pretty quilt and I love the colors. I had 3 great grandmothers and one great grandfather live well into their nineties and one to 100. It is a great treasure to have a grandfather!

  7. That quilt needs to have "spring" in it's name. Happy Birthday to your Grampa!
