WEDDING AND A QUILT

I don't believe I have ever seen a bride as beautiful as 

Shannon (McElhatton) 

and her handsome hubby, Rick Coil

I was so thrilled to be invited to their May wedding.

I have been friends with Shannon's  Mom, Linda Craig, 

since early 70s and Shannon was just a little girl.

Look at these beautiful ladies now.

I think Linda looks like Cybill Shephard!

 When there is a wedding...I give quilts as gifts.

I made this large lap size quilt.  

The pattern is NOVA from the book, Scrap Basket Surprises.

The stars were made with 2 1/2" batik strips from a guild swap  

and the PURPLE border made it all POP!

Ends up...this became the perfect quilt for the Coils.

 Keep PURPLE in mind...

 Look at the PURPLE bridesmaid dresses

and look at colors of the flower bouquets!

My Thank You Card said 

"the quilt was the best gift they received and 

they would cherish it forever!"

and here it is...in the Coil home!

Gift cards...cash...meh

QUITLS will always be the best gift ever!
