Not Afraid of Color to link up to more blogs taking part. Our Spring has been typical for New England. We have some warm days only to be followed by cold days. It's like the weather just can't make up their mind! We're finally getting some color blooming around our house.
I received this gift mug from an old pharmacist friend. When we started our careers, all prescriptions had auxiliary labels to remind patients on how to take their meds. I don't think they're as popular anymore. I spent most of my career working in hospitals and we didn't use them very much. This mug reminds me of my early years in pharmacy.
This is nice example of the rulerwork I've been quilting on my son's wedding quilt. The center block has a star in it. You may have to click on the picture to see it. I love using rulers for quilting. I can't afford a computer for my longarm so rulers are as exact as I can get. Rulerwork and free motion quilting always looks nice together.
Our prompt this week asks us how we celebrate our birthdays. My family isn't very large so it's always my immediate family, my children's significant others and my mother. We make a nice dinner, usually whatever the birthday celebrant prefers. I always try to make a homemade cake. It's nothing fancy but it seems to work for us. When I was younger, we used to have family parties also but not every year. Some years, we would have a bunch of my friends over for the afternoon. Birthdays sure change a lot as you get older!
I hope you have a great weekend and Mother's Day if you're celebrating.💖
