I've written many times about my best friends. My Yaya's. Every year we head to the Washington coast for a winter get-away of fun. Our vacation always starts with a stop at Starbucks:
This year 3 of us turned 50 (M turned 50 two years ago) and were presented with our Tiara's. We wore them all day on our way to the coast. :)
This New Wave quilt was my main project. We had such beautiful weather this year that I was able to get a picture outside. I used Valori Wells fabric...most from her Nest collection. I LOVE these fabrics.
I also made my first journal cover. There are tons of free tutorials online and I read a bunch to see how they were made. I chose to make a pretty plain one so I could see how it went. I'm always a bit nervous about non-quilt sewing. I love these Echino prints.
I added a pocket for my pen. I think I made it too skinny cuz it pulls. Next time I'll allow more.
Remember this Mini Stacked Strips wall hanging I made. Well I took the itty bitty scraps and made a Mini Mini one! The strips are 1/2 inch and the whole thing is only 9 inches by 18 inches. Some colors are missing because I didn't have enough. But its still so cute. That makes 3 of these Stacked Strips quilts from one Kona solids jelly roll. :)
We had some amazing sunrises and sunsets.
Nighty night! :)

Lucky ladies to have so much fun growing older together. Love the Tiaras. 50 isn't so bad. You are in great Company. Bonnie Hunter turns 50 on Monday!
Love the fabric in that new wave fabric! I swear, I wish I could hire a 'fabric stylist' to pick out fabric for me
Once again you were sooo productive my dear! Another year of great memories and love.
