If you can see the thread writing it says "Happy *drawing of cake*36th

A cupcake and if you look closely you can see a little thread candle with flame.
I decided to make me a placemat to celebrate my birthday today.
I really went wild with the free motion quilting and I'm so pleased with the results.
I'm broadening my horizons in quilting and learning that hey I can do this!
I had all kinds of profound things to say but I can't think of anything this morning.
I understand now why my own mom would lock herself in her bedroom all day and cry her birthday away.
She missed the life she used to have. She longed for more.
If Aaron wasn't here today I'd probably be doing the same thing she did so many years ago.
I miss my mom very much.
I have not seen her on my birthday (or hers) since I was 20 years old.
Upon opening my email and twitter accounts this morning I was greeted with all these wishes for a Happy Birthday and yet all I wanted to do is weep, and I did.

Happy happy birthday, Laura!! What a beautiful quilt... hugs!
Oh please don't cry anymore! We all love you and your fun blog and wish you the happiest of all birthdays! I love the placemat -- I am very impressed with your "writing". I don't think I could do that at all.

Big belated birthday hugs to you! I know I wished you a Happy Birthday on Facebook but I didn't get a chance to visit your blog that day. I think a lot of us cry on our birthdays, lord knows I've done so as well. I love the birthday placemat you made for yourself, it's gorgeous and so much fun!! I wish I had your talent:-) xoxo
I'm sorry I'm so far behind on blogging...still want to wish you a belated happy birthday! Sorry it started out rough; but it sounds like it ended pretty well!
