Last Saturday I did not post. We were in Colorado, doing this!
We had 3 appointments at 3 different bridal shops. I lost count of how many dresses she tried on. She did not find THE DRESS, but she narrowed down the style. The one on the left was a definite, "no".
We had so much fun. Her mom, her sister, 3 bridesmaids and me. Giggles and lots of girl talk was prevalent.
We even checked out a few tuxes for the groom.
So this week, I got this accomplished.
Four pink bow tie blocks. I'm a bit disappointed in the contrast in the one on the bottom left, but it is leftover from the baby quilt for my oldest great granddaughter. The fabric on the lower right is from the quilt for my youngest great granddaughter. Both of their birthdays are in July, I had to make July bowtie blocks.
I also did both of the Tiny Tuesday blocks. Pisces Fish and a Polka Dot backed, rather plump pig.
Critically, her chin doesn't tuck under her snout as it should, her forehead droops a bit and it looks like her tail has lost it curl. From far away, she's pretty darn cute.
Two pink Garlic Knots:
and one pink, Shoo Fly Shoo block. Bonnie Hunter's current Leader and Ender Block.
I also made 4 blocks for Covered in Love block drive. Red, White and Blue Stars is the bloc for July and August.
I'll be linking up with Angela's Scrappy Happy Saturday.
Next week our son comes to visit from Phoenix. I do not anticipate much sewing. But I may get the Tiny Tuesday block made. They usually are quick and fun.
So Stay Busy and Stay Happy!
The wedding dress trip sounds like fun! Since then it looks like you've been busy sewing! I sent off some star blocks to CiL this week, too. Always a good feeling to do that!
ReplyDeleteLove the tiny Tuesday blocks... and your analysis of the pig... made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you’ve been busy! What a fun entourage for the wedding dress hunt! Your blocks are all cute, and Miss Piggy has her own sweet style!
ReplyDeleteShopping for wedding dresses sounds like fun. I see what you mean about the bow tie in the bottom left having less contrast, but the beautiful fabric, alone with the sentimental value, sure makes it worth including.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the upcoming visit with your son. Ah... Wedding dress shopping. Better you than me!! SEW glad to see that you managed some PINK sewing, too.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun it sounds like you all had. Too bad the bride didn't find THE DRESS. Guess that means you'll have to all get together again and have MORE FUN! Love your pink blocks and I really, really, really like your Shoo Fly Shoo blocks. I think I'll also start this quilt with RSC in mind too. Great idea! Have a good week with your son!
ReplyDeleteYou sure got a lot done! I had to make THE DRESS for my daughter. Shopping sounds like more fun even though I don't like shopping!
ReplyDeleteWatching "Say Yes to the Dress" is my secret guilty pleasure. You got to do it in person!!! Your RSC blocks are cute and the fishes are the cutest of them all!!!
