meg Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi everybody... Life in my world is crazy! I have DD daughters wedding in June. STRESS! Anyway, her shower was this past Saturday. It was a nice event and I think everyone had a good time. She got lots of nice things and was very gracious. I was very proud of her. I had made this simple HST quilt out of scraps and brought it along. I originally had an idea for signing it and giving it to Kelly as a momento. But the swirls were not right for signing. So, at the end of the shower, we asked Kelly to pull a name from a hat and gave it away. The winner was a young girl who will be going to college in the fall She has a crafty mom, so I know it will be loved. image by quiltymeg, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

meg Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Kelly chose a cobalt blue for her bridesmaids. The wedding is in Hopetown, Bahamas so she wanted blue, even tho her fave color is green. She registered for a comforter set so I assumed she didn't want a wedding quilt. After the shower, she asked me if I was putting green & blue in the wedding quilt to combine she & Jeff's favorites. So, yes, Anne, I guess I am making a wedding quilt And she probably wont get it til first anniversary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
