And here's my Fussy Cut Friday star number 12. Using the same Savannah fabric by Jo Morton as last time, just a different stripe.
I also started the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt, also known as the 100 modern blocks quilt. I got 4 blocks done. I'm using a variety of Tula Pink fabrics.
It's fun to do a block a day.
It's been a busy week with the boy child home. The boy child has been celebrating his twentieth birthday since his actual birthday on Thursday. lol! On Saturday, it was a gorgeous day so we went to Cold Spring, NY to enjoy the warmth and sunshine.

Saturday evening, a certain other member of the family showed up, so out we went to our favorite diner to have dinner.
Sunday, we trekked to the boy child's favorite mall to have lunch at his favorite place to eat.
But we had to take the girl child to the train afterward so she could go home. Today, the boy child returns to college. Spring break is too short.
I will leave you with a couple of pics of the boy child blowing out his candles.

Great post Margaret! Looks like you all had fun celebrating. Love the Tula Pink and, of course, PLL is looking fabulous. Cute little Mia...she might be a little lonely now that the Boy Child is back at school.
I always love to see your stitching progress. And I look forward to seeing more of your Tula Pink quilt. We have a City Sampler quilt-a-long at my LQS. Johnny Rocks is our favorite place to go on birthdays too.

Everything you do is awesome and love the time you had with the kids!!! I would love to make a quilt someday!!! The stars you are making are awesome~
Lovely work, all of it! So glad to see springtime is finally arriving for you.
I'm sure you all enjoyed spring break. You have such a great family.
Oh. I forgot. WOW on the stitching.
Lovely family. Good you had a nice birthday and spring break. The parrot piece is devine!!
The Quaker piece above your sons head is GREAT too!
Some moms are glad when the holidays are over. I never quite understood that. I always enjoyed having my kids home for the summer or on break.
great sampler, love your quiltblocks
Looks like such a fun spring break! Cold Spring is such a beautiful place. I have been there a few times. It is so nice to walk along the river and browse in the shops. The Hudson is such a scenic place. Have a great week, Margaret! I think we are finally near Spring!
Looks like a wonderful week with your son! Diners are the best :)
I love your stitching progress and your new quilt project!
Have a great week!
It looks like you all had a great time together! Your sampler is coming along, and the fussy cut stars are very pretty.
PLL is beautiful - amazing progress ! happy belated bday to your DS - I bet those 20 years flew by. nice to have him home at least for a short visit. Mel
I love how kids manage to keep their birthday celebrations going for so many days :) Looks like you all had a great time together and I'm glad your daughter could be with you, too.
Your parrot is really looking spectacular, Margaret--that must be a fun one to stitch with those bright colors :)
Looks like a fun family time birthday celebration. Your parrot is now residing in a rain forest jungle! The colors of your new quilt...POW!
Hi, Margaret, it looks like you had a wonderful family outing. Are this *samplers* I see on the wall in boy child's room? How on earth did you ever get away with that?
Melinda
The title of this post is well chosen, Margaret, lol. Seems to have been a busy week with lots of stitching, quilting and family time. It was fun to see the pictures of your boy cild's birthday.
Love the photo of the two of them together :) Happy birthday to the Boy Child.
PLL is looking gorgeous and the quilt blocks are lovely.
The stitched piece is absolutely stunning.
The Tula Pink project is fabulous and that is another beautiful star.
Happy for you that you had your family home.
Margaret
Happy Belated Birthday to your son.
Fantastic progress on your stitching and star and quilt blocks are beautiful.
Wonderful progress on the parrot and I love the fussy cut this week. Happy Birthday to your boy! 20 is a big year! Looks like you all had fun celebrating and nice to have the girlchild come by too!! Hugs to you!
How do they get so big overnight? You work is always inspiring!
I wanted to ask - is that a Long Dog Sampler behind your dear son? He is a little blurry but your beautiful work jumped out at me and I would love to know what the design is.
