Happy Friday!!!!
Do you remember when I participated in the Dust off A book blog hop? I made this top - and it was perfect timing - as I was making it for a couple getting married.... and guess what?
I FINISHED it- and guess what else?
They aren't married yet!!! I BEAT THE Wedding... go me!!
So here is my Finish for the Week:
We got out to take a photo before the sun went down - and I am super glad we did - a few hours later we had rain!! GO rain!!! We will take it, but not when I need a photo!!!
I quilted hearts and swirls all over the quilt and used a Blue backing. Bound it in a blue too . Now!! To put it in a safe place and not forget where that is - so We can gift it come wedding day!!!
Whoot Whoot!!
