The quilt show was a huge success... and I am extremely grateful for the help I received from the team of volunteers. The tickets on the quilt I donated sold well; bringing in over $3000.00 the winner is ???? to be announced this evening at our Church bazaar...

The show closed at 4:00pm on Friday and then I was off to celebrate a very special birthday...

My hubby turns 65 today! In lieu of all the things happening I decided to keep the celebrations a bit quiet so I booked a room at famous restaurant and had them do the cooking. Yummy!
Miss Émilie was there too
The only thing hubby knew was that him and I were going out to dinner...

They could not all come, but a few made it to surprise him.
This summer has been very eventful and there has been a lot of curves in our normal routine. I do hope to get back some normalcy and get back to sewing; always remembering to be grateful for the little things I take for granted...
And not forgetting to be thankful for the gifts God so graciously has given me..
It looks like you all had a great time. Congratulations on the tickets selling so well on your donated quilt. That is really great!!!
