A birthday and Eventide progress, week 2

Girls First things first - happy birthday to my darling daughter, who would be turning 11 today if it were February 29.   But since it's not a leap  year, we celebrated her bithday yesterday (well, all weekend, actually!).  She had a birthday sleepover on Saturday night, a family party on Sunday and she took 3 dozen chcolate cupcakes to school yesterday.


Here's my daughter with her two cousins - a blonde, redhead and brunette.   The blonde one is my Lily.  They are all wearing their "nerd glasses" after seeing Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D and a dinner at Red Robin.


Week2 I didn't make a lot of visible progress on Eventide this week - I was sick 3 days last week, and then there was all the birthday celebrating.   I have all my block components (quarter square triangles) finished, I just need to put them together into blocks and work on the borders.   I'm having a lot of fun with this quilt.   I love the 2 sizes of stars and the soft, romantic colors of Luna Notte.

  9. They are beautiful with those glasses. Where did you buy those? My kids want to have that kind of glasses, too! But I'm thinking of other colors (aside from black) that will look great on them. Maybe green or purple will do.
