Friends, Food and Quilts

Yesterday my friends celebrated my birthday a few weeks early. We had lunch at the Italia Gardens in Davison. After a tasty lunch and lively conversation, we went to the Flint Institute of Arts for an Amish Quilt show. The quilts were impressive; the tiny hand quilting was really a work of art. Many of us are new to quilting, so we were relieved to see that corners and points don't always meet perfectly to have the finished quilt be beautiful.

My friend know me well and it's reflected in my birthday presents. The picture below show just some of the neat gifts they gave me.



I am lucky to have a thoughtful group of friends.
