Would like the know what quilters are working and share ideas.
Answer
I am pushing to finish a queen size quilt to give to my mother for her birthday in June. I did a block-of-the-month at a local quilt shop and am putting the blocks together in a "on-point" setting with 2" sashing.
My other works in progress:
1. Queen size quilt for my son who is in his first apartment (kit from Joann Fabrics), I am assembling the top.
2. Double size quilt for my spare room bed/ pattern is Diane Webber "Big Blossom Trio" This is cut out and ready to sew.
3. Crib size quilts from "Care bears" panels (2), to be donated to my guild comfort quilt program. These are bordered and ready to layer and quilt.
My other planned projects (have fabric, no action yet):
4. Table runners for my bedroom dressers to match the bed quilt, and runner for SIL for Christmas gift.
5. Memory quilts with fabric acquired on vacations (New Zealand, Caribbean, Hawaii)
6. Crib size quilts for extended family members who are "planning" to start a family soon
And a long list of ideas that might have some fabric already waiting in my stash!

Well I'm not sure what there is to do in New Zealand and what not. Make her breakfast in bed. Maybe before her birthday take her out to some shops and see what outfits she admires and later go back and buy her one of the sexy outfits she liked and on her birthday have it in a nice box with a bow around it with a note that says something like, dinner at (insert name of nice restaurant) at 7.
Something romantic I did for my fiance, you could do similar...I took a heart shaped box and put a mixture of things in it... some were notes that listed reasons why I loved him.. some were special pictures of us together.. some were little envelopes and inside the envelope I put something I bought/made for him (a cd of songs that reminded me of him)... anyway, fold the notes so she cant see what's written and have the photos and presents in envelopes. Give the box to her like a week before her birthday, and tell her she is only allowed to pick out one thing out of the box each day. So each day leading up to her bday she will either get a love note, picture, or present from the box. Then the ones that are left on her bday, tell her she can pick out one more out of the box on each hour until they are all gone. Then on the final hour of her bday when she notices there are no more left, hand her something really special (bracelet/necklace).
