Wedding Day!


Oh, it was a beautiful wedding. The day started out with thunder and rain until about an hour before the wedding was to start. The young couple made it their own style wedding, some tradition and some special things included in the ceremony. As the mother of the groom I was in charge of the rehearsal dinner. The orange and purple chrysanthemums decorated the tables at a local restaurant. Lots of people signed the yellow strips of fabric for the signature quilt. It has been fun to read them. My goal is to have the quilt done by Christmas.


As the one fabric strip reads,"Best wishes for a long life together, my son and new daughter."

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Carrie, lovely couple.
I too was going to do a signature quilt for my daughter but I did not want to put them on the tables at the wedding. How did you do it?
