Very, very excited about all of the sampler enthusiasm — thank you so much! I am thrilled. We will talk!
It's my birthday tomorrow, so I made myself a wee little birthday cake. And took a big huge picture of it. :-)

Many happy returns of the day (tomorrow)! I haven't chimed in about the new sampler only because I am so engrossed in and delighted by the current one. I don't know if it's the design or the colors or the stitched themselves, but I have to tell you that this project brings me real contentment. Thank you.

Ha! only 3 comments! At last I can get a word in and can wish you the best of happy birthdays!
Dear Alicia, your blog has been such a pleasure and an inspiration for writing and making. I often reread earlier posts.
That sampler looks exquisite & I look forward to more of your beautiful work. Please pass on my regards to Andy who gives his own special flavour to the blog.
I would comment more often but usually find someone else has just said what I was going to say.

Happy Birthday, Lovely Alicia! I so love your blog, your designs, your color sense, etc., etc., etc. I hope you have a birthday as wonderful as you. (Can't wait to see the sampler!!)
