Shamefully, I don't have anything to show on my design wall today. I bet you thought you'd never see a post from me starting with the previous line, huh.
I went to Atlanta, Georgia to attend my cousin's wedding. I even go time to spend a few hours with a friends who lives there. I had so much fun that I didn't even think about finding a quilt shop. It shocked me when I finally realized that it was way too late. I enjoy the wedding and seeing family that I hadn't seen in years. We're in the process of planning a family reunion next year so it's not so long between visits. I did take my sewing machine and managed about 2 hours of sewing on my Pineapple Nine Patch quilt. However, the iron in the hotel room was not cooperating so I couldn't press the units; no need to take a picture of that yet.
I'll leave you with a picture of my cousin and his new bride.

Beautiful bride and groom!
ReplyDeleteKind of weird not seeing a design wall from you. Glad you had a good time.
Sweet couple. It is so nice to spend time with family at an occasion like a wedding.
ReplyDeleteDon't they look wonderful? A new life starting for them both.
ReplyDeleteThey look so happy. I bet you had a wonderful time. And a day off, well I'm sure you will make up for it in no time at all :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to carry an iron with you to get the pressing done right...that's why we switched to a motor home for staying places.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we need the reconnection to other things for inspiration in others like quilting. I am so glad you had a great time, even if you couldn't get to a quilt shop. :) I can't wait to see your pineapple ninepatch. Lovely couple!!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to take a break and since you barely missed quilting, you'll have a fresh approach when you get back to it. Breaks are good for us quilters.,
ReplyDeleteHandsome couple -- how nice you got to attend the happy event.
It looks like it was a beautiful wedding. Sometimes being too busy to sew is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful couple , wishing them much happiness!
ReplyDeleteO.k., you are right the first statement was shocking enough but the second... no time for a quilt shop stop! Stop the presses!
Beautiful couple!
ReplyDeleteI was at a wedding too and didn't have much to show for my weekend...just a couple of pumpkin blocks.
