The Wedding Quilt

Our trip to Phoenix was planned around my sister-in-law's wedding.

The quilt in the pictures from Albuquerque was my gift to them. I really loved making this quilt and it was quite fun having it oohed and aaahed over at the wedding luncheon. My gift was the only one opened at the reception. I'm afraid I insisted. After putting that much time into it - I want to be able to see the recipient's face when they open it. Terribly selfish of me, isn't it?

I know Nikki appreciated it because she makes lovely quilts herself. Besides... a picture's worth a thousand words.

Bridesmaid's Dresses

I just received pictures of the bridesmaid's in their dresses. I made all of the dresses except the bride's and the maid of honor's. This was what a large part of my spare time from January to June was spent on. At times, I really thought they would never end - all of my dreams were in brown and pink. I would fall asleep thinking about the dresses and wake up thinking about them.



What a great time! Rarely do I let myself get so wrapped up in a project - no fudging on the details because not only were they for someone else, but for a paying customer.
I think they turned out really well. One of these days I'll sit down and write pattern reviews for all of them.
