I can’t believe I didn’t share recital photos!
They were in the same class & they did really great! It seemed like their group was one of the better prepared (i.e., confidently knew their dance moves).
Ginny was a little iffy that morning, having fallen asleep in a funny position the night before & suffering a very sore/stiff neck. She was using my flax seed heat wrap (purchased at My First Rhinebeck) and it ended up on her head…
…which was totally giving Girl with a Pearl Earring vibes, especially since she just happened to be wearing pearl earrings! Ann was trying to direct the pose & the wrap kept slipping off her head… resulting in some pretty good pics.
And the birthday cake! We decorated it with all the number candles (that just happened to be green!), and a few random other ones. It was so good. There were four pieces left & I sent them home with the kids — cake for breakfast (if it even lasted that long).
And the snow! This was Monday morning… there wasn’t a spec of snow back there on Saturday. I thought those chairs looked pretty comical with their big “snow cushions.”
Not related to the blizzard, other than that I did a little sewing over the weekend, I stopped at the quilt shop last night. We looked at quite a few fabrics with the sashing in mind — pinks, purples, even a yellow — my two faves were a grungy dark blue/black & a grungy purple. I ended up going with the purple — I think it ties them together better. I’m going to get it all put together with sashing & cornerstones before I make a final decision on borders — but that stripe is definitely in the running. Before I start anything, though, I have to trim up all 20 blocks so they’re consistently sized/squared!

Love the recital photos! And the fabric for the quilt sashing is perfect.
Love the recital photos as well! Ginny is so photogenic! I like this sashing material very much!!
Ginny even has the Girl With the Pearl Earring expression down perfectly in the first photo, although the second is more fun! The sashing looks great and I’m looking forward to seeing what you use for borders. The stripe is terrific!
Oh geeze, what fun it would have been to attend that recital. That cake looks yummy (I know there is none left…) and your quilt!! WOW!!!!!
Ginny knows how to work that wrap! That cake looks good (I’m impressed you had so many number candles on hand), and I like that dark purple with the quilt a lot!
I love the recital photos. I think the purple fabric is the right choice. I was thinking “dark” would make the blocks stand out but also bring them together. And then I read you chose the purple. Great minds think alike.
