April is such a beautiful month. The weather is always pleasant, I have a birthday and we were married in April! It's also a good month to give you Block 4 in the
free Block of the Month Wall Quilt

This month's verse has plenty of challenge:
You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
Matthew 5:5
Our verse shows where true blessing is - being content with who we are, not claiming our so-called “rights” and being prepared to live in humility. Another translation of our verse says it all:
“Happy are those who claim nothing, for the whole earth will belong to them!
“Happy are those who claim nothing, for the whole earth will belong to them!

We had a big celebration last weekend with lots of our family together for a double celebration - my birthday and our 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary!
I received so many beautiful flowers:
lilies ...
Our daughter made us a beautiful Cake:
We then had another party with 25 of our friends, received congratulations from the State Premier, the Governor of Queensland and the Prime Minister of Australia, and feel as though we have really celebrated a momentous occasion.
I am truly blessed to have loved and been loved by such a wonderful husband.

Congratualtions on your 50th wedding anniversary. Gee, how did you get all that attention? Thanks so much for your latest BOM. Sorry I haven't been commenting much, life has thrown a few challenges my way but I hope to get back to visiting you more often again.
WOw, Big congratulations on this wonderful anniversary. You both look marvelous and I loved seeing your wedding photo. Thanks for sharing.

This pattern is really wonderful. I love all of your designs and thanks a ton for sharing them here. Attended an art and craft party last week at an event space NYC with all my creative friends and all enjoyed a lot there.
