A Happy and Blessed Day

Some months back I showed this quilt that I had made for a friends wedding. The friend is someone I went to school with, when she was 14 her family moved to the north of England and when I was 16 my family moved right down to the South West of England, to Cornwall. Although we had moved so far apart we kept in touch and both came to know the Lord and watched each others families grow from a distance. Yesterday was the day for her second marriage. God had clearly brought this couple together and their marriage day was one full of God's love and blessings as they gave their vows before family and their heavenly Father. They both gave speeches which declared their love for one another and for God and for the excitement they both share at the expectation of where He is going to lead them next. To top it all, the sun shone...a rare occasion here in the UK this summer!

Wedding Quilts

This is the wedding quilt I made for my son and daughter in law when they got married on 2008. Its not a great photo and I haven't done anything this big since. I think I posted it before but not this photo showing the whole quilt. I hand quilted it and I think I will stick to hand quilting on big projects in the future. Just going to do the hand sewing part of binding the Amy Butler quilt then it will be done :)

Backing done and spray basted, now about to start machine quilting....I'm a little bit nervous

Amy Butler Wedding Quilt

I have joined my Amy Butler 10" Love squares. Now need to get the backing fabric which will probably be white and something for the binding.

Projects on the Go

I have a number of projects on the go at the moment. Some crochet baby blankets and this quilt which has been ongoing for a few years...something else always gets in the way, but I ma now hand quilting it and then it will just need the binding attached...this quilt is for me:)

The fabric arrived from www.cottonpatch.net for my friends wedding quilt...I am really pleased with it and also my printed labels to sew on finished projects. Cant wait to get started on the quilt!
