Well that month sure got away from me!
For all you non locals, my country is currently
in a time of great despair! Our numbers are
climbing, we have 3 provinces in major drought,
all are suffering from employment issues and two
currently on fire!
Quilting will definitely take out minds off all
this and help us push forward!
So today I am quilting my great big ole string star!
I am echo quilting inside each star.
We also celebrated a family
wedding. Small but very joyful.
The happy couple received a
total of three quilts and the bride wore
her mother's dress for a beautiful
ceremony. ( Yes, my dress)
Very moving and beautiful.
This is the wedding quilt
I gifted them.
A pineapple quilt made with batiks.
Very fun to make with a snazzy new ruler.
A good family friend made this beauty.
It was inspired by a big stack of florals
What a great quilt to add to the wedding bounty!
This ultimate scrappy quilt was made by
the bride's SIL.
Incredible piecing and color sense here!
We did travel thru Western Canada,
avoiding the fires and meeting up with old friends.
Made a few new ones and discovered
how small our world can get.
Took a quilt out for a niece.
She received the family block quilt.
It was so much fun to finish!
Lots to do and work on in my sewing sanctuary!
Stay safe and sew on !

DeleteThose are beautiful quilts for a happy occasion! I have a niece getting married next week and we'll attend via Zoom. I feel like I should make them a quilt, but don't know where to start!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great wedding and my family loves the quilts. I think they love the idea of quilts also. A quilt is a personal thing someone makes and gives you. They really
Deletesnuck in under the wire since we are back into restricted gatherings again!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about all the troubles. Prayers coming your way! So happy though that you could celebrate a wedding. Congratulations! And those quilts -- I've heard of a bride receiving one quilt but three! And all so very lovely. What a blessed family. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteLove your pineapple quilt and I’m sure the happy couple do too. Which ruler did you use? There are so many on the market.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts! How nice the bride wore your dress. Your string star is so pretty.
