Mom's Birthday

We interrupt this quilting blog for a brief family post...

My mother turned 85 on Saturday and she couldn't be happier (or cuter)!


Julia prepared a double batch of homemade pasta (8 eggs worth)! She's made it a few times before, and this was the best yet! Does that look like enough for 10 people? I hate to tell you there wasn't much left over.


When my sister was leaving yesterday, Mom said thank you and that her presence would have been enough. I thought she said presents!


She was a little confused by the quilt at first. She didn't remember making the hexie flowers all those years ago. When it all sunk in, she got a little teary.


To end our beautiful evening, it started to snow! We were lucky on the coast with only a dusting.


Have a Happy Halloween!
