Hip hip hooray!!! Today is Heather's birthday, of which birthday will remain undisclosed. She is 7.5 years older than me, but I will put it in writing (and online) that often people think we're twins. We both just hope they think we're my age :)
How great is this picture!!! I could giggle all day! There are seven kids in our family. I, Megan, am the little one up front. Heather is in the red sweater. This had to be in 1985-6.
One last little story...as I sit here freezing (in AZ!) I am totally reminded of a story growing up. Heather and I often shared a room even though we didn't have to. We lived in Colorado and she being a teenager and me just a kid, she'd stay up late and come in to bed late and wake me up. How did she wake me up? She would attack me with her icy cold fingers and toes!! I have freezer burn to this day... :)
Who would like some fabric??
I love doing giveaways over the holidays! As fabric lovers we know the desire is always there, so let's get you a little bundle for yourself under that tree!!

I love love love all the Remix lines from Ann Kelle. They are happy and young and modern and I just like them. This may be under my tree afterall :)
Ruffle fabric. Seriously to die for. Saw this in person at market, it's fabulous. If you have a girl and don't have this, WHY?? :)

For my 16th birthday my parents gave me a surprise party with the entire high school invited. And they kept it a surprise. Admitedly, I went to a smaller high school, but it was still a big party.
my favorite birthday was when my husband made me the most awesome cake. i love that man!
I see that Poppy Seed Fabrics has How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I am craving some of that...
I love the Owls in Holly with Polka Dot Pockets Christmas Apron at Aloha.
My best birthday is going to be the one next year, cause I'll be able to retire from work - yahoo!
You know, I don't really do birthdays. I've heard you live longer when you don't count them!
My best birthday would have to be the one I spent traveling abroad when I turned 21. I was in Scotland, drinking pints with my friends, and exploring the world. It was an adventure and FABULOUS!
Over at Poppyseed Fabrics, I'm quite taken with the Little Folks voile FQ bundle--I just think that would make such a soft and sweet quilt for a little girl!
How did I not know about Cuddles with Aloha?? OMG! That Santa Owls apron is so darn cute, I can hardly stand it!
And I'm now following Poppyseed Fabrics blog!
When I turned 21 my husband (he was my boyfriend then) bought me a sewing machine! I was ecstatic to say the least! I knew he was a keeper.
Happy birthday, Heather ... from another Heather! My best birthday is every one since I finished breast cancer treatments. Now they all seem like BONUS birthdays and I so appreciate every one ... two so far! And counting!
I already follow PoppySeed Fabrics blog!
Happy Birthday, Heather! My sister is one of my very best friends so I'm always happy to read about other sisters that get on together so well.
My best birthday was my 50th. My mom and sister planned a "Queen for a Day" party -- I had to wear a stupid crown (okay, maybe that part wasn't the best!) and we had high tea with 8 different kinds of tea sandwiches and cakes. It was really fun, and I DID feel like Queen for a Day. :)
Thank you for the giveaway.
I'm especially loving the Echino Ni-co Spring collection and those winking owls (never seen these before) by Kawaii of Japan.
So many good fabrics at Poppy Seed! I am really liking the O Tinsel Tree line, the Tuxedo collection, Persian Skies Grand Bazaar. The Baker's Twine is great too!
At Cuddle With Aloha, I love the OOAK, Hawaiian print summer blanket Surfboards and Guitar. Love the print!
I like the Santa Owls apron on Cuddle with Aloha's site, it's cute!
Happy Birthday! I am freezing here in AZ too!
My favorite line in her shop would be...hmmmmm..hard to decide but I will choose the remix set, super cute!
I would pick that green color apron with the eggs and chickens! so cute!

the orchid cascading ruffle fabric! my dauhghter would love it. and I might need the tuxedo pindot too...
My best birthday was a few years ago when I had an 8 month old baby(who didn't sleep well) and a toddler. My husband did the night feed, let me sleep in , cleaned the house while I was asleep and then made me breakfast which I had while he took the kids for a walk. Bliss.
I choose a custom bundle of fat quarters starting with some green and chartreuse from the crazy pickles bundle!
That morning glory blanket at Cuddle with Aloha looks great!
I forgot to say. Happy Birthday Heather!
Happy birthday! My best birthday was this year (2011 - my 30th) when my husband got me a handcrafted leather owl purse & matching coin purse. He picked it out himself and I love it so much that I've carried it for more than 8 months straight (and I usually change purses once a week!).
My favorite line from Poppy Seed Fabrics' site is definitely the new Remix (Anne Kelle & Robert Kaufman) - it's just my style - clean, bright, retro :)
I absolutely love the Santa Owls apron from Cuddle with Aloha. I love owls!

Happy birthday, Heather! Love the story about her coming in and freezing you! LOL I don't really have one certain birthday to tell about...I just love the fact that we're all together on my birthday - that makes it super special!
My birthday falls 9 days before Christmas so unfortunately my birthdays are usually uneventful because of getting ready for the holidays. But my favorite thing to do on my birthday is going out to a nice dinner with my wonderful husband.
My best birthday had to have been my 16th, because I was allowed to invite boys! A close second was the surprise 40h my husband threw for me many moons ago.
My best one was my last one. I got taken to high tea by my boyfriend, something I'd talked about doing for years but had never gotten around to.
Happy birthday Heather! My best birthday? I remember the year my parents splurged and bought me strawberries (in Oregon in March) for a strawberry shortcake dessert for me. I think I was 9 that year. This is way before strawberries were always available from California. Loved that cake!

I would totally go for the holiday fun bundle - love all those prints!
I don't remember what age I was, but my favorite birthday was the year that my mom and I made a bunch of different games to play at my party and we had a ton of fun prizes.

It's fun to read all the BD comments! And Happy Birthday to you! My best BD memory was my 16th.

How cool is that?

Happy Birthday to Heather! My favorite birthday is the last one I had. My brother had a Halloween party around my birthday, with cookout and lots of little kids. During the hayride, the kids visited my house and I gave out bags of candy and apples. I love to get the littles excited and howling. So, that was my last favorite b'day.
This is my favorite item at Cuddle With Aloha as like those owls http://www.etsy.com/listing/85858089/santa-owls-christmas-apron-one-size-fits

Then to spend the rest if any is left in stock, something from Joel Dewberry's Heirloom. I also like the Remix bundles.
I don't really do birthdays myself so my best birthday was a birthday of my husbands. It was a present that I bought for him and in which I got to share. We are both really super-duper movie people and the present was a trip to Austin to go to a Quentin Tarantino movie festival. This isn't a festival of Quentin Tarantino movies. It is a festival programed by him and (mostly) of movies supplied from his own personal stash. In between the movies Tarantino would talk to the audience about what the particular film meant to him and how it influenced him as a director. It was the best birthday that I have taken part in even though it wasn't my own. :)

I think I'm leaning towards the wonderful blenders at Poppy Seed Fabrics such as the Alexander Henry Heath -Crosshatch; the Robert Kaufman, Metro Living Circles; and the Dena Designs, Taza. Any of those would be great quilt stash additions.

Awesome giveaway! One of my favorite birthday memories was the one when I turned 12. Our family was moving across the country, and my birthday fell during the days that we were taking that thousand-mile trip by car + moving truck. We stopped for the night, around midnight, at a friend's empty apartment, had Hostess cupcakes, and presents, and it was a lot of fun.
My favourite birthday was two years ago. There was a terrible snow storm the day before, and so my partner and I couldn't leave the house. We had a fire, and hot chocolate and just watched movies.
