Annabelle received her birthday quilt from Grandma last month.
This was a quick little quilt to throw together for her big girl bed. Click to enlarge photo.
The backing was made from a pretty sheet found at a local thrift store for $1.
Annabelle's favorite part was the label with the cupcake on it.
It's hard to believe that this birthday girl is now 4 years old. She is such a delight and definitely has her Mama's sense of humor. She loves to make people laugh.
Another local thrift store has been selling books for .10 cents for the past few weeks. I am a sucker for a cookbook, and am happy that I bought this one. It is full of good sounding recipes that are easy to make.... no fancy ingredients required.
**I'm busy working on the quilt for the next birthday girl for next month!!**
Glad you are back--been missing you! That quilt is gorgeous. You do suh lovely work.
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt for a big girl's bed ~ what a thoughtful gift!
ReplyDeleteThose "quick to make" quilts are loved just as much as the ones we slave over. It has a very happy look to it. And that is a real sweet label. :)
ReplyDeleteThe birthday girl is adorable--expressive eyes!
I always make notes on my recipes, too. So helpful when I go to make it again, especially if it has been a while since I last made it.
She is a lucky little girl. I love the cupcake detail too!
ReplyDeleteI love old cookbooks too. They seem to have more recipes that have basic ingredients I already have.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so pretty...a treasure she will always hold dear.
What a sweet and lovely gift for a sweet little girl. It is truly lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, wish I had time to quilt, wish I could cut a straight line. I am afraid of rotary cutters. I am a sucker for a cook book also.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is sweet and pretty, but pales in comparison to the recipient! Such a big girl now. The muffins look yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI love Annabelle's quilt and can't wait to see what is under your needle for the next birthday girl!
ReplyDeleteThose muffins sound good and since it makes 5 jumbo ones that is 2 for your hubby and 2 for you and 1 to send to me :D
Love the label and the quilting you chose for annabelle's quilt btw! Have a great week friend!

The quilt is beautiful. What a lucky girl she is!
ReplyDeleteThe writing in the cookbook reminds me of my grandmother. I have many of her recipes and she always made notes of changes and likes or dislikes.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful!
Cute quilt, love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt for a lovely little girl. I am sure she will cherish it forever. Thanks for showing the muffin recipe. They do look yummy plus simple to make, and I also like the small batch since I am alone.
ReplyDeleteI used to like to purchase cook books. Now there is no one to cook for so I have given most away. Still have a few basic ones. I like the community cookbooks though I wish there were pictures of the dishes that were prepared from the recipes.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt that you made is beautiful! I'm sure she will treasure it!
ReplyDeleteLove those quilts!! Oh my what cute grands!!! I am also a sucker for cookbooks!!!! Good to visit! Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt! I love that you used the sheet for the backing. Its very special. Annabelle is such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteThat recipe looks good. Might have to try it some time!
