To celebrate CaMom's Birthday, SisterMine, MySweetMommie, Abbydoo and I were planning a surprise made by all of us. But as the best laid plans of mice and men seem to go, we were unable to complete said surprise. So I found myself with less than a week before the birthday and nothing to send my very dear CAMom. And then the Creeping Crud found me and I ended up with only 3 days to make something! But as usual- I work best under pressure and was actuated by the over 159 tabletoppers

in the blog hop and this little block from Christine to make my own table topper. I can't tell you how much fun I had hopping with Madame Samm on this table topper hop! So many great quilters and new friends to meet!

Years ago CaMom sent Sistermine and me a bunch of vest and jumpstart panels. I made most of them and put some away for gifts but saved these to make *someday* for myself, but never did. I also had fabrics from the same line that I thought about using for curtains in my sewing room but decided not to use. The designs on these panels were sew cute that I decided to make the improv log cabin block with them. It was a very fun block to make! No measuring allowed! In fact, it was so much fun, I made two!

| "Cut, Sew and Enjoy" I stole the title from the instructions fabric I used in the quilt |
I played around a bit with the quilting - these mini quilt's are great for practicing! I used the sewing basket from the vest as my label and some pink checked fabric from my "supplier" (AKA CaMom) for the backing. I really like the way both blocks turned out
and had a hard time choosing which one to send!

I hope CaMom enjoys her mini quilt and knows how much I love her! Happy Belated Birthday!
You are just the very best of everything great in my life. I love your absolutely wonderful sense of humor and adventure. I love my wonderful mini quilt and as soon as I find my way into the sewing room it will be on my wall. I have just the right spot along with my silly goose puzzle which is a daily reminder of all the love I feel from your mom, my super dupper friend of a lifetime. You all make my life wonderful and I smile when I think of you.
