Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
This past weekend my husband and I tried not to kill each other as we are attempting for about the millionth time to stop smoking. BOTH of us. Man is that rough when both are trying. ugh.
ReplyDeleteHey, you asked. Nothing exciting here. lol
I saw this quilt awhile back and fell in love with it. Immediately I put it on my wish list of things to buy so I'd be thrilled to win. I have a 9 month old Grandson and a 4 month old Granddaughter that each need a quilt from Grandma so I could surely use this. Thank you.
Have a great week.
I am already a follower of your blog. Thank you again for such a great giveaway. Crossing my fingers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! What a fun pattern - perfect summery pattern!
