my son's wedding...

My son, Gavin, got married last week.
He married the sweetest girl - Brooke.
They are perfect for each other.
She has two adorable little kids - now they are the most adorable little family.
Here are a few photos of the happy family...
At the courthouse in Tucson, AZ, with a plethora
(I love that word) of others waiting to get married.
Brooke's mom is helping the little ones.
(Brooke is totally rocking those heels!)
 
 
And the four became one...
 
 
 I love this son of mine...
 
 
The anticipation....waiting, waiting....
 
 
My family....I love these people!
(my daughter & her cute family, my husband & Gavin are the bookends)
 
 
Happy couple!
 
 
 
 I made each of them a snuggly quilt. 
This is Gavin's - softness on the back (a blanket from Costco) and "Hello Bear" stags on the front. 
 
 
I purchased the fabric from one of my favorite online shops, Hawthorne Threads.
I simply quilted straight horizontal lines.
 
 
 Brooke got this beautiful stag panel, also from Hawthorne Threads
I just added a couple of borders and quilted it with swirls.
 
 
 
 Mmmmmm a blanket from Costco on the back.
 
 
love.....

  4. OH my goodness - how fun! Everyone does look happy. My daughter is getting married Saturday in the mountains north of here. I am exhausted! But in a good way. It's so nice to know they have someone to share their lives with :) (I love Hawthorne Threads, too, except they have never drawn my name for their weekly drawings. What's with that?)

  6. Oh Kathy.....I'm so happy for your family. Looks beautiful!!
    and I LOVE Gavin's quilt. Do you just have the deer print everywhere and then a few blocks sprinkled down the middle?? I love the straight line quilt. Gavin and Brooke are lucky to have you as a mom!!

    1. I used the deer print all over with 15" blocks running down off center. I put 45" of deer on one side and split the remaining deer on the fold then added the pieced blocks. I wish I would have taken a photo of it before I sent it - but I was in a hurry to get it to them. They loved their quilts!
