birthday cake and presents

I had so much fun celebrating my birthday last weekend. I would like to share some of the textile-related highlights.

The cake:

custom made by Madeleine's, Cherry Pie and Ice Cream

icing inspiration is one of my art works!
Great idea kids!!
Made with fondant.

detail of Bougainvilla di Rossano, the art work used as icing inspiration-

inside of the delicious cake...good inspiration for a quilt?...circles and stripes?

The gifts:

a gift...paper in the box could be an inspiration for a quilt design...
the colour and the pattern and the circle

another gift. The kids had several of my textile art pieces printed
to make blank notecards.
The titles are on the back. Nice!

Everyone should be spoiled once in a while. Feels good!
