Breast Cancer ribbon wedding quilt

I was the wedding planner for a friend's wedding.

It was way more time consuming than I had thought it would be.

The wedding was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, groom was handsome, and reception was fun.

Everything went without a hitch.  What more could one ask for.

The bride wanted a memorial table for family that had passed but always remembered.

I was so busy I didn't get to take but one picture, hopefully I can get one from the photographer.

Her grandmother had breast cancer, the family had hoped that she would be able to attend the wedding, but she lost her fight in Feb.  I made my friend a wedding quilt with a breast cancer ribbon in the middle that was a part of the memorial.

 

  The quilt is wrinkled from being folded up and in a box since the wedding but I couldn't wait to share it.

I still have to attach the binding (ran out of time).

All the grandchildren and great grandchildren called her "Pooh". 

Birth date

Date of death on the other ribbon tail.

Heart in the center, 10 circles for the grandchildren, 6 center circles for her family.

Love all the feathers.

I had a lot of fun quilting this one.

The sun was setting I will haveto take more pictures with better lighting

 

The back is as pretty as the front.

 

Thanks for letting me share.

The only picture I took at the wedding

You can see just a little bit of the memorial behind the bride and the quilt right behind the preacher.

 



HQ16 for sale

Well I did it.  Did what you might ask.  I drove to Paducah for the quilt show in April and bought a APQS Millie.  Yea, I did.  So now I need to sell my HQ16.  If you or anyone you know have been looking for a good used quilting machine with a lot of upgrades email me and I will send you all the details.  Very good machine, has served me well.  I needed wanted a larger throat machine. 

Been awhile since I have blogged, been very, very busy.  I finished and delivered Aven's

quilt, didn't take pictures.  This is the only one I have.  Turned out cute, I put her name in the large white space.

 

 

 It has rained so much here it is very hard to get pictures.

Quilted two quilts for the Down syndrome Assoc., still have the binding to do.

 

Quilted a wall quilt for my office at work, still have binding (see a pattern here?)

I had a friend to ask me to custom quilt for her, did not get a picture of the whole quilt.

It was so big, I don't know that I could.  It was a present for her mother.

Here is just a little bit.

 Turned out great and she loved it.

 

I made a quilt and currently quilting it for a co-worker's daughter as a wedding present.

The bride lost her grandmother to breast cancer in Feb.  They were hoping she would make it until the wedding, but she lost her battle.  My co-worker wanted something that was cancer related. 

I made a pink ribbon quilt, quilting her name and dates, like the memory quilts I have made in the past.

You can see the top part of the ribbon with a heart in the middle.  Every quilt I have made recently has a deadline and this one is this Friday.  Wedding is Saturday and the quilt is going to part of the memorial table at the wedding.  Did I mention I am also the wedding planner.

 

Remember the quilt I was making for a man at work, he had found out he had cancer and very little could be done for him.  I was making him a quilt, a large quilt to give him warmth and comfort.

He lost his battle before I could finish his quilt.  He was one of my bosses.  I have worked for him for 23 years.  He was more that a boss, he was a friend.  When Stevie was younger I mentioned he like to watch Bonanza.  The next week he brought me a set of dvd's of every episode.  He said "now Stevie doesn't have to watch all of the commericals"  I will miss him dearly.

 

Throw in a family disagreement, my father getting bit by a dog and we found out my husband has more medical problems than we thought.  Now do you see why I have not have time to blog?  Missed my blogging buddies, but I do visit when I have a chance.

 

Thanks for visiting and listening.  Hopefully, it won't be as long next time.

Now for a picture of the bride trying on her dress after I had altered it.  She bought the dress 2 years ago (long story), and well, the dress shrunk while hanging in her closet .  I had to add a corset closing.

 

 

I don't know why I can't get the picture to rotate.  This was a try on I have tweeked it.

The "pooh" tattoo is in memory of her grandmother.
