It is as if the designers intended this card for Dave. When I was thinking of a quilting pattern I looked up radio waves. Did you know radio waves are invisible? Knowing that, I attempted to make my quilting as invisible as possible but also used a wavy line just in case the stitches showed.

The binding on the card depict planets. Perhaps Dave’s voice is being carried into the universe and who knows who might be listening.

How is it possible that Dylan is 18 this year. The day we were waiting for his arrival we were in a line-up at the Greyhound bus depot sending out Christmas packages. I was further behind that year than I am this one!

Although Dylan probably won’t need a warm hat on his birthday, he surely will when he heads to his Dad’s after Christmas.

When I went to my bin of pre-made cards I was hoping to find one for Alex. When I saw this one I immediately thought of him. It may seem a bit juvenile for a 14-year old but he’ll be taking some advanced classes this year. He’s a good student and I know he will do well because Will taught him his ABC’s and 123’s many years ago!

Jackie’s card came from a pattern on my Quilter’s Block-a-Day calendar for April 2. It was one I pre-made during the pandemic. The quilting is very simple on this one. Straight lines and my signature star in the corner block (which I can now do with very little marking or thought).
