Belated Happy Birthday Surprise for Joss!

Joss turned 60 a few years ago and asked me to make her an art quilt to commemorate the celebration of THAT birthday! I'd only been quilting a short time, and it was such an honor to be asked to put sixty years of life into one long narrow length of fabrics to hang on her wall. Well, you've come a long way baby....
And now I have the honor of being able to celebrate a third birthday with my dear friend, who now resides in London, England...after spending a big chuck of her life in South Africa!
One more party...and I brought the ice cream!
Happy Sixty Two! And many, many good wishes
for many more birthdays!
