Wednesday was the perfect day to go blueberry picking. We picked up Nick and Connie and
headed west. After about two hours of picking (they were hanging like grapes on the vine) we had almost 60 pounds of berries between the four of us. They are sooooo good.
Yesterday was my birthday (not a zero) and it was another great day. My folks treated Jim and I to a perch lunch which was delicious. The Tigers beat the Orioles in an afternoon game, I got a birthday charm and discount at my LQS and I bought a little Janome. It's the AQS2009 and I will take it to classes and retreats giving my Featherweight a break from traveling. I love the push a button and watch it sew feature!
While there, I took a picture of the shop sample I just finished sewing. It's called Spinning Flowers by Amy Davidson of Humble Bee Quilt Works.
Added: Terry has a terrific giveaway of patterns and books here.

I can't believe you picked so many blueberries! I am so jealous!! Happy, Happy Birthday my friend!! We need to try to get together again soon. Have you visited my blog? I have a great give away from Bunny Hill going on.
Ummm blueberries, it is about two weeks until we can go picking them here. The quilt is beautiful.
Blueberries, yum! Don't they freeze great? Happy belated birthday! A new Janome sounds pretty nice, I'd say. Have a great weekend.

Happy Belated Birthday! Hope it was a good day. All those blueberries look delicious!
Happy Birthday -- so glad you had a nice day. I have a Janome Jem that I bought for HeartStrings sew in and love the push button. My new brother has it too. I find I need the foot pedal when I'm doing bindings and borders but I love the push button for string piecing.
Happy belated birthday Jeanne!
Wow... those blueberries look scrumptious! Wish we have a place here to go and pick fresh berries.
Spinning Flowers is adorable! And those blueberries look fabulous. I am so envious! Michigan Blueberries!
I didn't get picking this year, but your baskets looked so good. Your quilt is lovely.
Very belated Birthday wishes to you! Those blueberries look fabulous as does the quilt!!
