Happy Birthday Regan & Thekla (and Dad)

September 4, 2023

The Proposal (by Jen Kingwell) – because diamonds are a girl’s best friend!

Since I usually send Regan and Thekla some variation of the same card I knew there would be nothing in my pre-made card bin. Shortly before it was time to start looking for a card I found a photo of this card in one of my Facebook groups. Someone provided the name for the block and I was able to find the pattern. By the time I went back to the post someone else had already added the link to the pattern.

Being paper pieced I thought it would be a quick and easy make. It’s been too long since I did any paper piecing and it was more difficult than I expected. A few days after making the cards I found another cute pattern that was paper pieced so I bought it just so I could improve my skills!

I’ve been going through old photos and found so many pictures of Dad, Regan and Thekla in the days when they celebrated their birthdays together.
