Long May She Wave Finish!!! and !! Finished ( or not) Friday!!

Oh my Gosh! it has been a crazy week and a half for me and my family - but I think... we now have all the laundry done, groceries have been purchased, and maybe... we are back to our routine life haha!!


Let's start with the Finish!!!!

My LONG MAY SHE WAVE Mystery came to a close Wednesday... and now... its time to show off my Quilt!!! I tried to keep it under wraps for the past 8 weeks/.. but I need to brag now!!!



Ta- Da!!!!  All those flying geese turned into something PATRIOTIC!!!
Just in time for Veterans Day!! and more Quilt of Valor Awards!!!


A Close up of the Quilting.
I love all the Starry Pantos Available to us quilters now!


now.. on to the things that kept us busy....

We had to get dressed up. ....





All for a good cause tho!!!

We finally got to celebrate my son and .... his wife! ( how did my baby get old enough to have one of those????)

And now we wait for the Professional photos - but... I just couldn't wait to share haha!!!



And lastly - a few of you said the Quilt hangers were out of stock - I had to order more yesterday - and they were back.....that means I am up to hanging 24 quilts!!!! I had no idea I had that many to hang!!! Most of mine get given away or sold... or so I thought!!!!


AND NOW!!! THAT MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!

Its YOUR TURN

Link up your Finishes ( or not) post and let us ohh and ahh on the things you have done!!!

Congrats on the new addition to the family, what a great thing to celebrate. I really like your mystery quilt this year, wish I'd been able to stitch along.

First, many congrats to your son and his new wife! And now, that quilt is a beauty, Alycia. Well done!

Rebecca Grace said...

What a beautiful design, Alycia! I love how you achieved the suggestion of the flag through careful color placement. Very pretty, very patriotic, and very modern interpretation of our flag!

Sherrill said...

I LOVE Long may she wave!! Absolutely gorgeous! Where did the wedding take place? This is your oldest that went east, isn't it? Looks like a very happy couple (and mom and dad, too).

The Colorful Fabriholic said...

Congrats all the way around! I love Long May She Wave. Best wishes to your son and his bride. Is she a quilter (yet) ?

Deb said...

We did the same in August ! Our daughter got married last year in a tiny church ceremony wearing my very own wedding dress! Then all the Italians were invited along with friends and more family to a big bash this fall in a very fancy dress.
Oh and love the quilt hangers. I use a very thick plastic to hang mine in the closet till completion. Then they get displayed on railings ( we have a lot of railings) and /or off to family, friends or charities. Stay safe and sew on !

awe congrats on gaining another family member and you all look beautiful

Jocelyn is Canadian Needle Nana said...

Congratulations to the happy couple! May I say you looked stunning in those photos, Alycia and far too young to have a married son.
And that is another beautiful patriotic quilt too.

Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl said...

Long May She Wave is stunning, but the biggest congratulations this week goes to your son and new daughter-in-law. :)

Nann said...

Oh, what a GREAT design! And congratulations to your entire family!

Kim said...

Though I'm very patriotic, I am not usually overawed by the Quilts of Valor that I've previously seen. That has now changed. This is gorgeous in my not-so-humble opinion. Now I have to resist the temptation to start a new project. sigh!
