Wedding Flowers


Our youngest daughter was married this past weekend. She was a beautiful bride and it was a beautiful wedding. Everything went well and we didn't have anything go wrong. I have posted photos of the flowers that decorated the church and guest book table. Had a wonderful time with friends and family and a great brunch the following morning.






Bowl


I received this bowl as a birthday gift from new friends. My son in law's aunt and her husband and mother gave it to me. It was made by Susan Breier, author of "It's a Wrap".
I also received the book and I am looking forward to making a couple of things from it. Have a few ideas of my own as well. Always need placemats and can never find any in the right color. I am excited about this new technique and using up those yards and yards of fabric I don't want to use in peicing quilts.

Mid-April

Although I am posting these photos on the
29th of April, they were taken on the 15th.
A thunderstorm went through late in the afternoon. I always love the light when the sun comes out and the storm has moved eastward.

Snow Dyed Fabric


The snow dyed royal blue and wisteria fabric turned out a little better than what the photo indicates. It is the only time I have liked the wisteria.
Next is the bubble gum, yellow and red dyed piece. This was the best group and the following piece was one of the pieces I cleaned up the runoff with and I am very happy with those.

The final piece is one the another area of the bubble
gum, red and yellow piece.
I think I would do this again. The results were so so on some of the colors, so I would be more selective as to which ones I used.
