The wedding is over! We sweated about the weather—but, thank goodness, there were no storms! No rain! cool temperatures, which was fine. We had heaters for the outdoor ceremony. It was a beautiful wedding under the oak trees, covered with twinkling lights!
The wedding and groom cake were centered stage
Bride’s nephew carried this satin pillow that first used in bride’s great grandmother’s 1940 wedding
After wedding clean up, there is a let down feeling—all that planning, shopping, friends/family departing—it is time rest and be ready for another day.
Life continues—always moving fast! Never a dull moment as we move through our days of adventures. Here is a progress of my fiber creations. I'm trying to keep myself grounded--especially, with the holidays fast approaching. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. I'm deciding whether to start on Bonnie Hunter's 2022 mystery, which begins day after Thanksgiving. The color selections are on her website. I will save all the clues and decide in the new year.
Fat Quarter Shop is hosting Sewcialites. Each Friday a different pattern is released from a designer. This is second pattern--I'm trying patriotic colors for now.
This is the first pattern.
This stack of stars have been staring me in the face for months--finally, I did it!!
I started putting them together!
Scrappy Stars by Kathleen Tracy
It's a start--just need seven more stars to complete the last two rows. Not sure I like the green squares-- but finishing up will be a bonus. Another thing off my table stacked high with projects!
Log cabin blocks made with scrap strips—didn’t matter size of strip, just started in the center and work out till you have at least 12” block. If larger just square up.
Once the blocks were together, I thought it needed a border. A friend suggested piano keys—back to the strips sewn and cut to 2.5” length.
The top still needed something else to make it complete—
4” black border and ta da! Finished!
