Playing "Catch-Up" is the name of the game lately. I haven't posted a Make-A-List Monday since April 2nd. Finding time to quilt has been difficult but my days have been filled with so many equally fun and rewarding activities.
The flowers were blooming in April and May...
Beautiful!
The weather was very temperamental this spring. This is a picture of the sky over Philadelphia that my son, JT, took from the deck of his house.
Spooky!
And speaking of JT...his Great Dane puppy, Thira, continues to grow at record speed.
My daughter-in law, Kaela, was accepted to a VERY prestigious hospital in Louisville, KY, for her hand surgery fellowship.
JT, Kaela, and her family celebrated her accomplishments when JT & Kaela traveled to San Jose to attend her brother and sister's high school graduation in May. The fellowship will not begin until August 2019 as Kaela finishes her last year of residency.
My wonderful children gave me an amazing Mother's Day gift this year -
a Cricut Maker machine
I haven't had much time to play with it but I have made a few things.
I made these personalized cups for Logan's preschool teachers, Miss Linda & Miss Denise.
I am looking forward to many hours "cricutting" in the future.
Shea and I attended my cousin's bridal shower. It was a lovely afternoon.
We can't wait to celebrate with Chris and Maura again in September at the wedding!
And now...on to my list -

1. Piece, quilt, bind and label at least one "Quilts for Kids" quilt. Attend the QFK workshop at Pennington Quilt Works.
En Provence
3. A wedding quilt for a special daughter and future son-in-law.
Many hours were spent designing this quilt for
Shea & Ricky. I started with the inspiration found in one of my quilting magazines. I knew I would need to make changes to the original pattern in order to add the pieced border I had pictured in my mind.

I think it probably took me longer to design the quilt then it did to piece it!
I pieced, quilted,
I used my Cricut to make a card
I found just the right basket to wrap the quilt in
and I was ready for her bridal shower.
Cargot Brasserie, a lovely French inspired restaurant, on the Princeton University campus, was the venue. Sammi Beth & Maureen, Shea's Matrons-of Honor, and all the bridesmaids did an amazing job with decorations, games, favors and FUN. They picked up on the French vibe of the restaurant and the Paris honeymoon destination. The beautiful centerpieces were provided by Violet, Ricky's mom.
Shea was surrounded by family...
and friends...
She LOVED her quilt and I am sooo happy she did!
The happy couple...Shea & Ricky.
