Stitches & Stems

IMGP4487
I hosted a bridal shower this weekend for a gal from my church. The best part was, I didn't even have to do anything; I just got to enjoy the party. The bride's sister brought all the decorations and food, set everything up, and pretty much hosted. I'm just glad I was able to open up my home to such a lovely bunch of ladies. I did provide the beautiful flowers above. I'll take any excuse to buy fresh flowers.

As my gift to the bride, I made this quilt... a bit of a last minute decision, and one that had me tied to the couch all week. Poor Patrick is probably in need of therapy or at least a little sunshine after being confined to his playpen all week while mom sewed.

I quilted it together with little ties inside each of the diamonds and then embroidered their initials in the corner: Mr. & Mrs. D. and A. S.

And here it is all wrapped up and ready for the party. Congratulations guys! May God bless you abundantly!
