Happy Birthday Joanne!

It’s Joanne Denton’s Birthday Today!

And how do I know this?  Her husband told me so when he ordered her birthday present!   Joanne’s husband Don asked me to email her to tell her that her present is on the way!  But with a husband like Don, I think Joanne deserves a marching band,  a party and cake galore!  Can you believe how sweet her husband is?  He bought her a quilt kit! 1 husband + 1 quilt kit = SUPER HUSBAND!

The “Park Lane” quilt kit left here on Saturday heading to Canada!  Joanne, it’s your birthday present from your hubby Don! I hope it arrives very soon.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed that customs lets it go right through!

If you live in Victoria, British Columbia and you know Joanne, run over and give her a hug for me!

Happy Birthday Joanne!!!

Be sure and leave a happy birthday comment for Joanne!!!

I spent the weekend sorting fabric, sorting out magazines and cleaning up the studio.  It’s always such a mess by the time I leave for market and I can’t get back to work until it’s cleaned up.

I have my Lily & Will left over fabric arranged by color! The bottom row has baskets that hold the scraps I’ve cut and couldn’t part with…also by color.  Genius don’t you think?  When I need to pull fabric for a project I can see exactly what I have.

I’ll be back with market pictures!  Have a wonderful MONDAY everyone!

    Wow this email took me by surprise because my name is Joanne and I just had a birthday as well. So Joanne, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Fall birthdays are the best! I am so thrilled your husband gave you such an awesome surprise.Could you believe seeing your name on a Bunny Tale Blog? Was he prompting you to check your emails that day? What fun! My husband took me to 2 wonderful quilt shops for my birthday in Kauai. Actually we went to Kauai for my Hawaii 5-0. He really got into picking out batiks. We are blessed that our hubbys support our second love, they of course being our first…yes really they are first!!!

    Happy Birthday, Joanne!!!
    Anne, it’s good to have you back. I’m sure the studio will be back to working in no time. It’s always a delight to get a peek there, and Lily and Will make a splendid addition!

    Happy Birthday Joanne from a fellow Canadian what a wonderful thoughtful gift. I have often hinted to my husband but he just tells me to buy it if I want it.Not as much as a surprise.
    Anne your workroom is lovely, I am working on mind but I have to share with my bedroom. Have a wonderful day Sandra

    Wow, Happy Birthday Joanne!!! Enjoy and I hope your day is wonderful. Maybe your hubby could write to my hubby and drop a hint huh? LOL
    Anne, I love the way you have your Lily and Will arranged, I needed a bib to keep from drooling on the keyboard. Ummmm…those scraps you can’t part with, well, if you don’t use them and decide to part with them, let me know, hehehe!!! *wink* But, I know YOU of all people will find a use for them and I can’t wait to see what it is. Have a great day. It’s snowing here so I’m hoping hubby will build a fire and warm up the downstairs, I want to sew today!!! Oh by the way, saw the “WHOO Loves You” quilt kit on Fat Quarter Shop today done in Lily and Will. It is wonderful! Hugs…

    Happy birthday JOHANNE. We have never met, but we have one thing in common, the same source: BUNNY HILL DESIGNS; Therefore it deserves a wink.
    And as noted by Anne: what superhusband you have ! Keeps him.
    Lots of big kisses to share with those you love.
