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.....

 

2 finishes.....Lone Star & Single Girl

I've been wanting to make this quilt for a few years now.

It's "Single Girl" by Denyse Schmidt.

You can get the pattern on her website here.

 

 

I decided to use some of my Denyse Schmidt fabrics that I've been collecting.

 

 

Here's a peak through my cute iron bed frame...it's very old and I love it! 

 

 

My bed frame is a full size so this queen size quilt drapes really nicely.

 

 

I quilted a simple swirl with pebbles design in the solid areas and straight-ish lines on the rings.

 

 

I purchased the backing, "Sparse Floral", from Hawthorne Threads - it's a Denyse Schmidt print, too, along with the binding.

I really love DS prints and wanted an entire quilt out of them.

I'm so happy with the results and I would definitely make this quilt again.

 

 

You know how I love Lone Stars.....

 

I made this one out of happy prints from my stash.

I had several yards of the green henna garden and wanted it for the background. 

 

The backing is one of my favorites "finds" to date - Free Fall from Tula Pink.

I purchased mine from Hawthorne Threads, again!  (I love this place!!!)

It comes in several color ways so the creamcicle was perfect for my colorful quilt.

 

It made me happy to use this cute pink DS eyelet print for the binding.

I feels SO good to get a couple of quilts finished and on my beds!
