    Happy birthday to you my dear friend. Hope you have had a fabulous day. Glad to see the cake is pink. Does that mean all your klosjes are sewn together?
    Love Shirley.x

    Happy birthday I guess? Wat een lekkere cake en zo mooi! Je hebt echt een heleboel aan je klosjesquilt gedaan. Ik moest een beetje bijlezen en las dat je trip naar Holland echt een hele ervaring was met die workshop en zo.
    Fijn he, de lente? En bij jullie al zo ver lijkt me.
    Groetjes

    Oh Happy Birthday Valentina! :o)
    May I ask the date as I am a March birthday girl?
    Love your spring blossoms and I would most enjoy a cup of camomile tea with you.

    I think I was so mesmerized by your quilt, that I did not notice your cake was a oi cushion! Oh what a sweeeeet personal gesture! Now you have me thinking.... Hmmmm..... Quilting with fondant....no, no, no, too dangerous for me. Id better stick with fabrics. Happy Birthday my friend. :)

    A belated very happy birthday to you! That cute little cake looks just right for a creative lady such as yourself. Someone ordered (or made) a lovely BD treat.
    You just keep going and going with those klosjes. It's going to be an heirloom when it's done.
    Ahhhhhhh -- lovely spring is definitely coming!

    A very happy birthday to you, Valentina! I have not had the time to read blogs in the last few days, hence this delayed reaction.
    I love your cake!

My Patchwork Family Through Adoption

A Bit of Africa and China
Came knocking on our door
And in a home where there was longing
Now empty rooms no more

Like a Quilt of Many Colours
Our Family stitched together into One
God's Love and Grace for us Abundant
In the Miracle of our Sons
