B & C Birthday & Pineapples


My birthday was last weekend and it was celebrated with lots of Bonnie and Camille fabric goodness.  My mom knows my love for vintage goodies, so she found this cool vintage lunch box. Don't you love how she used buttons and ribbon to close the latches? 
Inside was a fat quarter bundle of Little Ruby. So adorable!
My sister sent me a fat quarter bundle of Handmade! My hubby also fed my Bonnie and Camille fabric habit--he gave me money to preorder a fat quarter bundle of The Good Life and the tins that will be out in August. Now, I need to work up the courage to actually use all of my B & C bundles--I have seven all untouched!
I finished my Pineapple Top this week. My mom already has hers quilted, bound, and finished!
The pineapple theme continued. I am working on this sample for my friend, Bernice. We also kitted up a bunch for her shop to sell at our local quilt show next month.
This quote will be embroidered in the middle--I am thinking in green. I will be working on that for Slow Sunday Stitching
My daughter (the one in the skirt) returned from Italy this week and started her internship. She will not be home at all this summer--she moved into a campus apartment and started making money to support her travel habit! It was a great week!

  8. Happy Birthday. You did get some lovely gifts, and, yes, you will need to start planning a use for the B&C fabric. Although it is lovely just to look at it.

  12. I have a hard time using my B&C too! Your pineapple quilt is awesome! I plan on doing one this month since we are on the color yellow and I have tons of it. But first I have to finish all my regularly-scheduled blocks. Your daughter and friend are darling, BTW.

  27. I'm a June baby too but I doubt I will receive such wonderful presents such as yours.
    I'm so silly, I confused the pineapple quilts like you've done with the pineapple block. Ah well, who says I can't make both?

  28. Happy Birthday! You remind me of my daughter - also a B&C fan! I understand you knot wanting to touch your bundles - sometimes it's fun just to pet the fabric. I'm so happy you are so blessed to have such a wonderful family who loves you and gives you such thoughtful gifts! Life is good!
