Quit for Emily and Chris

Dave's niece got married this summer so I had to get moving on a quilt for her. 

I pulled these fabrics her mom though would be nice for the married couple (She did say Emily would like the girly girly ones but better get more neutral for the both of them. lol)

While staying at my mom and dads, We pulled out the quilt to grab some photos. 

i love it all crinkly

I found this laundry basket at the dollar store to wrap it in

On their bed 

 

Heres a few from their wedding! 

and the skies just opened up

so we finished inside

Melissa's Wedding Quilt

Last year my sister announced she was getting married. I knew what I wanted to do for her- A quilt of course!

As I was talking about colours etc. I asked her about a signature quilt rather than just a regular quilt.

So I made up the blocks to take to the wedding and had a station so everyone could sign them.

the doors led to the Brunch line

Since that time I was working on getting the blocks together and a backing and getting it to the quilters. 

I managed to finish it in time to bring it with me to my parents house this summer. Less than a year from her wedding date! I made my goal!

this is the back. both were taken at moms house. 

Dave and I had a plan of going on a road trip without the kids so we took a detour and dropped this off at Melissa and Bobs. 

 They loved it!

Melissa's Bachelorette Party

Dave and I headed to canada one day early. this enabled me to go with both my sisters and hang out for my youngest sisters bachelorette party!

We met up at my middle sister, Amanda's, house where we got ready. 

Here we go! off to a night of adventures!

Go karting!!!!

getting into the cars :)
We got the bigger ones so we didnt have to stand in line and we could all start the same time.

Between each lap we had to drop off a ticket for the next lap. Sometimes there was a bit of a back up. it happened only once for each sister that I passed them before that spot and was able to get a picture of them behind me :)

Melissa

While waiting to get into the restaurant we made sashes that said Bride and Maid of honour and Bridesmaid (although that was an honorary title for me) 

Skylon tower!

Inside the sykon tower was this glass shop. so pretty!!

 we look pretty good for hand making most of our decorations! 

walking by the falls

 Clifton Hill

and to finish off our night we decided to take missy to go ride a bull

We were actually fairly tired at this point so we headed back to Amanda's where we got snacks, watched Bridesmaids and spent the night.

Such a great night!

thanks for letting me come!
