Tomorrow, tomorrow....

I LOVE wedding rehearsals. At least I greatly enjoyed Steven and Dawn's and Joel and Jenn's. Hopefully we didn't irritate the wedding coordinators too much with our love of laughter and fun. I think the real joy is that we get to "experience" the wedding ceremony more than once. Maybe not in its completeness, but we do enjoy rehearsing all the different parts. I think that's why you enjoy being part of a theater group or a production of some kind. It's not just a "one-time event" for those involved. With a wedding there is so much time and energy spent in preparation, even when you plan a simple wedding, that you don't want it to come and go in just a few moments. So much more fun to savor it over time.






Now, you don't have to be around my hubby for very long before you realize that he loves to laugh. It was his witty humor that first attracted me to him and it is something I enjoy to this day. He can find something humorous in almost anything and if there isn't humor there, he can make some up. So it was not at all surprising to watch him wheel Joel out onto the stage. Joel has joked that he's so old, he already got "one foot in the grave." Not quite, Joel. But the wheelchair was a great prop!



So precious to watch father walk his daughter down the aisle. Bob Wetzel has had to this before and will do it again, Lord willing, in December when his last daughter is married, but I'm sure it is never an easy thing for a Dad to do! It was evident that both he and Jenn were aware of the seriousness of this walk.






It was fun to hear Jenn's Dad insert the word "tomorrow" through the rehearsal. "I, Joel, take you Jenn, tomorrow...." "I now pronounce you husband and wife, tomorrow." The future Mr. and Mrs. Joel Thimsen looked very excited about tomorrow.

Oh good! It's red!!!

 Since I first learned of the concept of leaders and enders,  I began incorporating them into my sewing. At first not with a great plan. But that's progressed with time.  First I saw the value regarding having something already under the foot when I added the next pieces in. Rarely does anything get grabbed down towards the bobbin.  But the real value comes from basically making a second (or third or fourth or fifth 🤣) while sewing your up your primary project. At the moment I have 5 leaders and enders going  1. The second bunk bed quilt. (Pictured is the first one while I was working on it.) I will need to cut more pieces for this soon as I only have one block cut.  2. County Clare. This year's l/e challenge from Bonnie Hunter. I have quite a few blocks done, but not enough for the size I want to make. I'm at the point I need to cut some more scraps the correct size  3. A quilted bag made of selvedges to carry rulers in when going on a retreat or to ...

Slow and steady...

 It may not win any race, but it will make progress on the quilt(s). The wedding quilt was finished, washed and gifted. We're not in town for the wedding, so I was glad to get it done before and gift it to the bride.   I finished quilting the 2 quilts for our group donations that I will pass onto someone else to add our label and finish the binding. No photos.  I had the opportunity to help a gal who is new to sewing begin her first quilt. I was able to finish a couple more blocks for the bunk bed quilt while she was sewing. No photos (Hmmm. I see a pattern. 😆) Since my last post, I was able to finish up the red portions of the Crimson Christmas. It's so fun to see it grow!! This week was also a sew day with friends. Always fun and productive! I worked on the mauve potion of the Crimson Christmas quilt.  There was a section mis-sewn, but some picking took place and finished up.  And then at home, I was able to work the next few steps:  I've really enj...

What's on my design wall.

 I haven't done much blogging recently. I'm finding that much of my quilting time is spent work on quilting up projects that have been made by others that are heading out for donation. I don't tend to photograph those, since I'm just finishing up the work of others. Also, having had some back issues, my sewing time has been more limited.  But I have enjoyed experimenting with different FMQ designs as I work with these.  This one was fun! I will most likely use this again on another square quilt. (Photo was taken just as a record of completion...) The quilting design does not show up as well on this one as I used a color that blended in. But this flower pattern is easy to work with. This project keeps making it's way on and off my design wall as I work on projects with a deadline. I originally saw the pattern on the YouTube channel of the Questioning Quilter. She called it "Top of the Stairs." It's a disappearing pinwheel. It went on my bucket list of q...
