| Beautiful Bride and Groom |
We just came back from 8 days in British Columbia - most was spent on Vancouver Island . . . couldn't have asked for better weather for my niece's wedding. This time was spent visiting with family and friends - old and new. The quilt was commissioned as a wedding gift for the lovely couple - it's made from a pattern called "Smokey River" by
Whirlygig Designs using Northcott Stonehenge fabrics. The first picture below is BEFORE quilting . . . so you can see what a difference quilting makes.

I didn't get a picture of Smokey River with any "hang time" as it was pretty windy before we left for the wedding, but I'm betting someone (
"hint, hint" ) will send me some photos from the Island and I'll post later. The colors in this quilt are so perfect for an outside autumn photo shoot . . . so I'll post when I have more. (Free-hand design, Glide Thread, Quilter's Dream 70/30 batting).
I'll leave you with some photos of Beautiful British Columbia . . .

Fall is in the air - we have had frost here in Water Valley so this weekend will be spend cleaning up the garden - it just feels too soon! Next up in the quilting room is a lap quilt for my colleague who is heading into cancer treatments - how could I NOT make her a quilt to keep her comfy and to remind her that her friends and coworkers are walking this journey with her?
Until next time from the Little House . . .
