A Heartfelt Wedding Gift

A dear and talented friend made this quilt top as a wedding gift.  But she didn't make it all by herself.  She did something extra special.

Over 50 of my friends/coworkers signed pieces of the quilt.  How she got some of the signatures I'll never know.  I hope to baste and quilt it in time for Valentine's Day. 

Since November, I've been in "thankful mode."  I'm very thankful for dear friends.  They are truly a blessing!!  :)

Back to Quilting & Crafting

I haven't posted in a long time, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy.  One year ago, my Sweetie and I decided it was time to sell both of our homes, buy one together and plan a wedding.  Pictured is our new home, and we were married a few days ago.  

Even our scarecrows dressed for the occasion!  After this picture was taken, I hung wedding bells from the tree.  They looked lovely, until it started raining.  LOL

I have a very talented and generous sister who made the flower arrangements for the altar/head table, bouquets, boutonnieres, table favors and even wraps for the bridesmaids.

 

 

 

With the help of a friend, I did the flowers for the wedding cake (not pictured) and the bird cage card box.

The entire day went off without a hitch.  We were surrounded by family and friends at the church and enjoyed a wonderful meal and music at the reception.  It was truly a dream come true!

As life gradually gets back to normal, you can look forward to more frequent blogs very soon! :)
