Just a Quickie

     Just a quickie for this Valentine's Saturday.  Do you make a big deal about this holiday?  We tend to go low key on it.  We tend to exchange cards and a little box of candy.  After celebrating our wedding anniversary in mid October then Christmas and both of our birthdays, we just keep things simple.  This year I made chocolate cupcakes with homemade buttercream frosting with coconut sprinkled on top and gave hubby his favorite peanut M&M's....well, I got a cute card, a box of Hershey's chocolates and a Volkswagon Lego kit....What a great surprise!


     Last night we had a nice dinner out at a local italian place because we knew today every place would be crazy. After a relaxing day home today we decided to take a drive to Five Guys and had awesome burgers and fries.  

        Today I caught up with my Moda Building Blocks Quilt Along blocks.
February was an easy one, 6  6-1/2 inch blocks.  I'm connecting all the blocks each month so at the end and with only 2 months left to go, I'll be done and ready for quilting.

I don't have a favorite but I am partial to the Sawtooth Star and the Friendship Star takes a close second.  

There is 1 36 inch block left with a bunch of 6-1/2 inchers.....

And, a post of mine these days wouldn't be complete without an Olivia picture


She just gets cuter and cuter.......but I might be biased :)
