Today is Susan's birthday! She lives in Washington state where the strawberries have just come on and so her daughter is making her a Strawberry dessert today! With all my heart I wish I could be there with her and her family.
Based on the colors in their home I created this gift for Susan.
I am not set up to photograph such a large piece so the picture is not very pretty but you can get the idea anyway. Maybe Susan will take a shot of this hanging on her wall and post it (hint hint) : )
I used the "Quilted" series from Papertrey Ink for my quilt blocks and framed them in a plain frame from Michael's. I chose this frame because of the double matting. The top mat is raised so that I was able to layer foam under each quilt block and not be smushed under the glass. The frame is black and the mat a brilliant white not gray like it looks in the picture.
I know this is a bit tacky to talk about price but I have already shared my great find with Susan so I can share with you too. This frame cost less than $20.00 when I used a 40% off coupon at Michaels! Isn't that amazing!?!
Before I go I have another sister, Beverly, who also has a May birthday. I forgot to post this funny plaque I found in a FEED STORE! LOL and sent to her. I thought it was so funny I didn't want to fail to share it with all of you.
Please join me in wishing my sweet sister a very very happy birthday!!
I will be adding my projects to:

Patti, my birthday is in July!! ;0) haha! I just adore this! My mother would have especially loved this as she was an amazing quilter. I am so blessed to have a few of her quilted creations and each one is a cherished gift. I'm sure both your sisters loved their gifts. You're so thoughtful and creative!!
What a beautiful card and quilt wall hanging! The colors are amazing. Wow! And I've got to say as well, that strawberry dessert photo almost has me salivating, it looks so delicious. I really like how to added to the quilt square on the card with the flower sprig and the gems. And it looks like you decorated the inside, too! Something I need to do more of. I'm not proud, I'm glad you shared the great value you found in framing this piece. Sometimes those costs can be a detriment to finishing up a project, so thanks for that from me. :) And that second piece you found for your other sister is fabulous as well. Gotta love some great humor! :) Have a great day. I'm sure your sisters did when they received these items.
Yummy! This is for both the card, plaque and the dessert. I sure hope Susan has a wonderful day and I am sure the celebration will be much better due to the great dessert and the wonderful design you made for her.
Oh, what a gorgeous card and gift, Patti! I'm sure your sister will love them!
And that plaque is so funny!
What a lovely quilt card - I bet Susan loves it. And that sign is hilarious! TFS.
