Happy Birthday Kevin

Cozy Cup Mug Rug (Melissa Mortenson – polkadotchair.com)

When I decided to use mug rugs for my birthday cards this pattern seemed like a good one to start off with. I found some treat-related fabric as the accent for the cup.

I hope Kevin gets a treat to go along with his coffee (or tea).

Point Taken (from the Splendid Sampler 2 series)

You know your grandchild is an adult when his birthday gift is exactly the same as his Dad’s!

This card came out of the card bin and was sent off in plenty of time for Kathryn to tuck his birthday present inside the package. This is my kind of pattern where the points on the stars are supposed to be missing!

Happy Birthday Taylor

Hearts-a-Flutter (from the Splendid Sampler series)

I didn’t think I had anything in my card bin that would work but I decided to check just in case. After my cleaning-up sessions I had a bit of trouble finding where my card bin had moved to! I was happy that there was still something in there that would work.

In spite of not having the best shopping options in Powell River there is a store that stocks the Dutch sprinkles that are a favourite of Taylor’s. A collection of those went into her gift bag.

Happy Birthday Kathryn

Album Block (from the Quilters’ Block a Day Calendar – March 2)

A couple of years ago I made small blocks that fit under Kathryn’s glass cutting board – one for each month. I thought perhaps she was ready for a new one so her card is a bit larger than most.

The pink fabric came from Diane and I quilted it with my standard stars in the squares. It wasn’t until I was showing it off that I realized on two of the squares I had missed the final points. Fortunately it was an easy fix.
