Birthday and February Quilt Pattern

February Quilt Pattern and Free Table Topper Quilt

With so much going on, I kind of missed my birthday… but I have reached the ripe old age of 66 and some days everything seems to hurt. My Florida swim body now feels a bit saggy, and I have learned a new morning routine of time to get everything moving again.

Here is my February Quilt Pattern, shown in red, but any colors and white will work too. The Quilt Pattern is here At The Quilt Ladies Shop and in my book All in ONE Year Quilt Patterns

I have added one of my table topper quilt patterns for you to make too, pictured below

But, who needs a bikini body when you’ve got quilts, a bit of wisdom and experience of a life well-lived? I have family, friends, a huge cup of coffee, a quilt, a book and a comfy home.  Life is wonderful

Now a bit of Business, Please read on:
I have decided to remove all Google and Amazon Marketing ads. It’s become a full-time job having them on my sites and the income doesn’t justify the time involved to keep doing it, plus it’s become over my head with how to?!?!?. I will be linking to my books ONLY on Amazon, and will receive only my author fee if you purchase, thank you all. If you see amazon missing ads…I’m working on removing them all but it may take a bit… it’s just me.

Gifted Fabric, Made into a Large Log Cabin Quilt

A Red and White Log Cabin Quilt

I am so very lucky to be able to quilt with a small quilt/craft group every Monday. Last spring one of the quilters said, “I’m cleaning my fabric’s out, what colors do you all want?” I said anything Christmas, well over the next few weeks I received a lot of fabric.

I decided to make quilt for the holiday’s for our king size bed, and it turned out huge. A Log Cabin Christmas quilt for me! Most of the reds and black edging fabric I had. And here it is.
We have been sleeping under it for a few months, and I will probably leave it on for a bit longer…I love it. Machine pieced and long arm quilted.
It’s a bed spread quilt, loving it! It’s HUGE !

Sharing a Quilt Pattern and a Memory

Pin Wheel Quilt Block Pattern from The Quilt Ladies

Happy 2024
It’s my time of the year to set up my happiness.
This year is going to be a time of change, my art, my quilts, taking better care of myself and enjoying everything, every day and every moment.  2023 ended with so many positives that I have to keep the love, laugher and joy going.

With new, I  can’t forget the old and here is my Great-Great Grandmothers quilt and I added the pin wheel quilt pattern for you here.
This post was from my The Quilt Ladies site, the original and it still makes me happy.

My Great Great Grandmother Quilt Pattern Pin Wheel quilt blocks
As I get  2024 started I want to take a moment to share a bit of happy, Husband and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary pretty much all year in 2023, love doing that. Trips with kids and grand kids and a huge over the top trip for the month of November. Once home we had to deal that Husband’s heart surgery and I can only say, it’s all done! He’s back, up and doing healthy. It sounds easy but was all hard work to stay focused and deal with it all. My Tricks
45th Anniversary wedding tripDon’t forget to share happiness with those around you! A simple smile or kind gesture can go a long way in brightening someone’s day. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or even a stranger, please try and make an effort to spread joy wherever we go.(my Hallmark moment)

Happy 2024,
let’s do it all with kindness, joy, love and laughter.
