Happy Birthday Madison

April 10, 2026

Catherine (from Little Handfuls of Scraps by Edyta Sitar)

Again, being short of time, I pulled another project to send as Madison’s card. She is in a much larger space this year and I hope she can find a place for it. According to Canada Post this gift should make it on time for her birthday.

Happy Birthday Asher

Lidia (from Little Handfuls of Scraps by Edyta Sitar)

This is the first year I’ve sent Asher’s card anywhere other than “home”. I had no idea how long it would take to get to Edmonton and, with the Easter holidays, I’m afraid his card will also be late.

Because I was so short on time for card making I pulled one of my small projects off my display. I’m sure in his new apartment there will be room for it somewhere.

Frozen

Elizabeth asked me if I had any Frozen fabric left from the quilt I made for Taylor. She looks after a friend’s daughter from time to time and Oceana loves Frozen. I dug into my stash and found a few fabrics; next I had to find a pattern that would be simple to make and that would suit the pieces of fabric I found.

As I had larger quantities of some of the fabrics I thought I might manage a 3-Yard quilt. Although I didn’t have enough fabric to make the quilt as large as the pattern, it turned out to be a nice size for a little girl.

I’m not sure why I had the Olaf fabric but there was more than enough to cover the back.

Elizabeth sent me a photo of the recipient.

Happy Birthday Gavin

Chicago Geese (April 4 from Quilter’s Block-a-Day Calendar)

It is only fitting that I’m late posting Gavin’s card. As I write this his card is also late getting to him.

It seldom works this way when I’m doing blocks from my calendar but this year it worked out just right.
