The ugly duckling

Is really ............. a beautiful quilt.
Remember the ugly quilt?
Here it is all quilted. For a closer look at the quilting you can pop over to Rose's blog to see. Rose quilted it for me. Precious pup she is. She did a fantastic job. Thank you Rose.
It is my mothers 70th Birthday Party tomorrow night and my son Stevie made her birthday cake for her. He has done a wonderful job. He is so clever. This is the first cake he has ever decorated. I can just hear my mum though.........Nooooooo don't cut it!!!! lol.
The photo doesn't do it justice. The white icing is draped over the cake to look like a bouquet of flowers. It is a chocolate cake underneath. Steven made that too.
Jules
P.S Jo he still hasn't taken those lego photo's.

That's okay Jules as he has obviously more creative things to do, the cake is a work of art!! Your quilt has turned out beautifully! Happy Birthday to your Mum :-)

Did anyone actually cut into that cake? It looks so gorgeous, I don't think I'd have the heart to put a knife to it!

The sampler quilt turned out fabulous, Jules! Both you and Rose did a wonderful job. I'm sure your Mum was thrilled!
