Our rains have finally arrived in So. California. We had an inch and a half overnight and 3/4 of an inch the night before. It is suppose to get quite wild later on with 60 mph winds and power outages so will try to finish this post off now. We just got our power back after being without for over an hour.
With it being the last day of February, I need to get my finish in for ALYOF. This month I completed a Schnibble that I made way back – during the Year of Schnibbles. I can’t even remember the year or the name of the pattern, but I LOVED this fabric. It might be one of my all time favorite lines – Boutique by Chez Moi .
It was my mom’s birthday this week so all of my siblings and some of their spouses took her to lunch. We had a great time and a fun visit with my sister who is visiting from Alaska.
This was the birthday card that I made her. The fabric reflects her career as a teacher.
How wonderful to all be together for your Mom's birthday. And I'm so glad the much needed rain has finally come to California. The storm is on it's way here to Arizona and we expect quite a down pour by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLovely family photo and so nice you were able to get together. Happy you had some rain, but hope it doesn't go to the other extreme of TOO MUCH. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a nice time. I heard on the news this morning that you will be getting a lot of rain. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day you had for your Mom's birthday. Love all the photos. I'm in Murrieta, and we're really getting pounded this morning.
ReplyDeleteYour Schnibbles is adorable! How nice to have everyone there to help celebrate your Mom's birthday!
ReplyDeleteLovely family photo. Also, nice finish. Loving this rain, although I am going to just stay inside and make soup.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom! It looks like she had a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mom. The card is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope you weather the storm. Heaven knows we need the rain.
Happy Birthday to your mom , lovely photos of the celebration and love the card you made for her . Your quilt is just beautiful ! Stay safe in the rain storms ,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you Mom. That is such a pretty handmade care. The best kind! Your Schnibble is very sweet too. As CA gets the rain the rest of us get the cold and sub zero temps. Hurry Spring!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are finally getting some rain but I hope it doesn't get out of control, too much at once.
ReplyDeleteA happy post Mary. Love seeing you and your siblings photo. Happy Birthday Mam, you look younger than last year! Enjoy the rain and hope you don't loose your power! Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mama! Your Schnibbles quilt is so so pretty! Thanks for sharing the family photos. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mother. The photos show all the fun you had! The quilt is lovely and I can see why it has become one of your favorites.
ReplyDeleteThe family photo is just wonderful. I too hope that things don't get bad with all the rain where you are. The pictures I'm seeing on the news are pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom! Sure hope you don't have too much trouble with your weather, but if it's any consolation (and I know it's not), we're facing some lousy weather here ... ice, freezing rain, sleet and snow - all in significant accumulations. I sure do love that Schnibble! What pretty colors ... how big did it finish?
ReplyDeleteLove your Schnibbles, Mary! Happy Birthday to your mom who looks great! What a nice photo of you all, too and a lovely birthday gift!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Enjoy your rain I know you have needed it but I hope the strong winds don't damage anything. Beautiful quilt and fabric! Happy, happy birthday to your mom and what a precious family photo!!
ReplyDeleteI just spoke to my SIL who lives in S.Cal and she was so excited because it's raining. Heck I never get excited - it rains here all the time!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mom! What a happy day! Your Schnibble is Tagalong! I made one in red, white and blue, but I like yours better. Great for Spring :-) Stay safe in those winds! Our power went out for a bit last week and it seemed like everything I needed to do that day involved electricity.
ReplyDeleteYour Schnibbles quilt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour sister lives in Alaska? That is really neat. My sister lives in Maine, and I thought that was cold!
ReplyDeleteYour Schnibble did turn out quite beautiful. I like patterns that are both traditional but contemporary like this one.
Your little Schnibbles quilt turned out great. Congrats on your finish. Looks like a fun celebration with your mom and sisters. Love the card you made her!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you could all get together for your mums birthday! I bet she loved it. How old is she? I love the card you made for her too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some rain at last Mary.
