Yesterday was the culmination of a week long 50th Birthday and my "besties" made me cry! Here are the four out of five of them hiding behind their Secret Womens Business project - Michelle, Nicole, Helen and Jan (Marg was away teaching).
They made me a Quilt!!!!!
It is a little hard to see in the photo but they used all my favourite fabrics and sashed it with my favourite black paisley. There are 5 stars sewn into the quilt, representing each treasured friend.
Marg made the label on the back and anyone who has seen Marg's work, knows how precise and perfect her stitching is. The bow tie around the label is actual ribbon that has been painstakingly stitched down.

This is my quilt's new home, a match made in heaven with my red leather couch.
Thank you everyone in Blogland for your warm birthday wishes, you all made my birthday special.

How fantastic and only true friends know the way to your heart. I love the red sofa too. Glad you had a fantastic week. I think we should do as the Queen does and have a proper birthday and also have an unofficial birthday then the celebrations would last even longer.
