Finally!


I started this quilt on spring break last year in New Mexico at Teresa's house. I finished the top last summer. Today at approximately 6:30 I finished the binding. It's my first king sized quilt!

I needed some instant gratification today after quilting and quilting the King. I made this to hang on the front door. If feels like June.

Frank put in the light about the sink months ago and I just now made the curtains to go in front of it. I love a light above the sink. They always have the nicest glow.
Here is the dress. It's not completely done in this photo. The hem still needs doing and some beading has to be added. Plus the whole thing needs to be steamed and pressed. I'm nervous about that part. I hope the dry cleaner doesn't ruin it.

Here is the headpiece and veil I made to go with my retro wedding dress that I made. The headpiece is satin with an lacey overlay and then beading at the back. It will be secured with combs that I still have to attach.
The veil is my favorite. I could walk around all day wearing it.









I've been slack about posting because the wedding has taken over my quilting time. Here is the quilt I sent off to brother John in Texas. Since it's so hot there I didn't put any batting in it just a flannel back. It was super easy to quilt and felt cozy just the same.

Can you believe it? After months of hibernation there are clothes up on my clothes line. I love hanging out laundry. Plus, there is a new quilt in the washer getting ready to go to St. Louis for Olivia Koues. Today I'm going shopping for fabric for John's b-day quilt! Can't wait.
