Wedding Quilt…
My middle daughter is getting married in July and it is time to start her quilt! She likes scrappy, so I was lucky and showed her the Disappearing 9 Patch and she loved the pattern.
I have been saving yellow and blue fabrics for about a year and this week it was time to cut!! When I make a 9 patch I work in strip sets; here are the yellows….
Here are the blues…
The stack…
And a very special fabric.
When Emily was in high school, she had the chance to go on a school trip to Paris. She brought me this beautiful fabric. I have never wanted to cut into this fabric and now I know why; it was being saved for her Wedding quilt!! It is so beautiful and will add a special touch to the quilt.
I do not think it will take to long to make the top, but I hand quilt, so I had better get going!! Right!!??

A Crafty Thanksgiving….
We started our Thanksgiving Day by driving to downtown Chicago to our daughter’s home. She lives on Michigan Ave on the 23rd floor. This is the view from her balcony.
You can see the Sears Tower!
We then walked to the Christmas parade, the only bad part was not the walk or the weather, it was we did not arrive early enough and we missed some of the parade, bummer…
Next, we walked to the Kriskindlemart. This was opening day for the German Market. Of course, we ate; we had potato pancakes, schnitzel sandwich and Hot Cocoa. We looked at the vendors and our youngest daughter got her traditional Nesting doll for her collection.
We decided to come back on a different day as we had Thanksgiving dinner to look forward to!!
While we were waiting, we started a Christmas craft I was hoping to make for my studio tree.
As you can see, I needed candy, fabric, pinking shears, Rick rack and a glue gun.
We cut the fabric into rectangles and added a piece of candy.
Then rolled it up and secured it with a dot of the glue gun.
We tied the ends with the Rick Rack.
I am now going to stitch the ends together to make a candy garland for my tree.
Dinner cut the creating short but was well worth it, what a wonderful dinner, and wish I had some now!!
After dinner, we all headed back home where my oldest daughter, her husband and TT joined us and we all had fresh homemade pie and cheesecake. Super fun day!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!
