Scrappy Bargello

My sister and I went to the cottage this week for an overnight stay.  What was supposed to be a nice, sunny turned out to be cold and rainy.  So, no sitting on the porch in that weather.  Instead, we sat inside and while my sister read a book, I finished sewing the binding down onto this quilt.

Lately, I've noticed that quilts are being started and finished in the same year.  That is such a good thing.  No need for more UFO's.

There will be more babysitting this coming weekend and there is another quilt with binding already sewn on.  So, I'm hoping to get a good start on that quilt and hope for another finish this month.

The wedding last weekend was lovely ..... except it was pouring rain and very cold.  Up the hill and surrounding areas ..... they had snow!  Still, we had a good time and wore our winter coats.   The funny thing is that I wore sandals and was barefoot.  My toes were a tad cold and wet from walking in the rain.  Oh well, what we do for fashion, eh!   This is one of my favourite photos of the newlyweds.

I will be making a wedding quilt from all the squares that guests signed at the reception.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!
