Neutral Twin Quilts

Two posts in one week, I'm on a roll!  My birthday was yesterday, July 29th.  I am trying to set some fitness goals, but I personally really dislike exercise.  With my foot issue I can't run, but I have been walking so I I did my morning walk.  I got to spend quite a bit of the day in my quilt room.  It is so much cooler in my basement room than the rest of the house.  Harvest started Monday so Doug had a long day in the field cutting wheat.  I LOVE to go out to dinner, but that won't happen until there is a break so I made potato salad and BBQ chicken.  Can I say food allergies are the pits?  I would love to eat dairy and eggs, but they are not good on my sinuses.  I ended up sewing the last borders on one quilt today. Both quilts were supposedly cut out for my retreat last weekend, but I didn't have all the pieces nor the extra fabric!  Both quilts are twin size and will go in my basement rec room, aka old sewing room.  I need to liven up that room a bit.

Mocha Meringue Fabric, pattern was free from Marcus Fabrics to go with the line.

Pattern is "It's Good to be Square" but I made double the amount of blocks.

Today is my birthday

Now normally I wouldn't make that the title of a blog post, but I just had to share this poem from friend Sue V. in Illinois wrote me, thank you Sue! I think it's fabo in your words!

Happy birthday our Julie H.!

Happy birthday to the gal who always has a smile
A cheerful note, a caring tone....
She makes the day worthwhile

Here's wishing you the best of days
From morning thru the night
A stack of fabric, spools of thread....
Whatever your delight...

May this day be warm and sunny
But never oh too hot!
May you find just what you wish for
And may it hit the spot!

For birthdays come but once a year
From them we can't steer clear
Counting numbers, OY to that!
A sneer, a guffaw, a jeer...

Happy b-day dear Julie
Happy b-day to you
I hope today is sunny
And your b-day skies are blue
I hope you enjoy the memories
Have cake and eat it to
And one more wish from this here state
(This one is just from me)
>From "corn" to "spuds" .....a birthday smile
May your day be all it can be!

Have a great day!!!

Sue V.
