Fun, fun, fun!
I finished the Secret Wedding Gift Quilt!
Not to be confused with the
Secret Anniversary Gift Quilt
that I did last month
and shared about a couple of weeks ago. lol
This quilt was requested for a wedding gift,
from parents to their son, for his upcoming nuptials.
I won't share all the pictures of the finished quilt,
because I don't want to give away the
surprise!
They are going to use it at the wedding venue
(in a couple of weeks),
as part of the decorations with the flowers!
Isn't that an awesome idea?
AND, I was finished a few weeks before the date!
The pattern is the uneven nine-patch,
and finished a large queen-size.
I also did pillow cases to match
(I'll have to share the picture at a later date, because the close-up picture of the pillowcases shows the wedding couple's names/date that I stitched into the quilting).
When the parents of the groom picked it up,
she, the Momma, said she was going to cry -
it was exactly what she wanted!
So good the hear that she loved it!!!
And nice to have it finished and delivered.
Hope you all are having a great month!
Hot and steamy here,
already feeling like it's August.
and did I mention blazing hot? LOL
With the temps in the high nineties,
and the heat index to be well above 100 degrees each day this week,
THAT is a little much.
It does probably mean a little more stitching time indoors
in the air conditioned coolness, though, and that is good.
My computer has been in the shop. Again... Which really is a blessing in disguise; being able to have it repaired means I didn't have to purchase a new one. I'll try to take a few minutes at lunchtime each day this week and visit all my blog friends and try to get caught up on all the fun.
Secret stitching:
Sweetie's nephew asked me to create a quilt gift for his wife, in honor of their 12th anniversary. They are such a sweet couple and family, and I'm proud to claim them! lol
He told me the some of her favorite colors, I chose the fabrics, sent secret messages and pictures back and forth, and got to work. Delivered ahead of schedule, so just had to wait out the gifting before I could share with you all.
Their anniversary date has passed, so I won't ruin his surprise if I share now.
Queen sized, teals and corals, Crazy 9 Patch pattern:
Hard to make out, I know, but he asked for his/hers initials with wedding date, enclosed within a heart:
I also made a couple of large pillowcase/shams with leftover fabrics:
And probably my favorite picture - the trimmings from squaring up the blocks:
Binding time:
I'm off to have some lunch and do some MORE secret stitching!
Hope your week is wonderful!!!
