Wedding Bells

Let me introduce my grandson, Tony and his new bride Kendra!

They were married June 14th in an outdoor wedding at my daughters house. It was lovely! The weather was perfect, Kendra did an awesome job of coordinating the event.

She opted to not have a guest book, but instead asked me to make quilt blocks for the guests to sign.

Here are the blocks on my design wall before the wedding. The fabrics are green and brown batiks.

 I took the day before the wedding off from my 8-5 job and made the cupcakes, red velvet, chocolate and white.

Here are the white ones:

 The chocolate and white have buttercream icing. The chocolate ones used a more serrated tip and the red velvet with cream cheese filling and cream cheese icing has the smooth tops. My ex-husband made the cupcake stand.

Here is my son, Jason, his wife, Kathy, ex-husband, Jack and Andrew, the Ring bearer.

My Big May Finish

This baby quilt consumed much of the month, but it was certainly worth it. I gave it to Dané at her baby shower on Saturday and I think Jeff and Dané both liked it.

Quilter's Chocolate

I'm going up to Shipshewana for a couple days. My car is all packed and I will work a half-day and then pick up Janet and away we go. My treat to share is these yummy devils food cupcakes.



Poor Dan will be home alone and said he needs some chocolate of his own, so I made this little cake for him to satisfy his sweet tooth while I'm gone. He picked out the icing, which is called Triple Chocolate Fudge Chip. I'll bet there's no calories in that, huh?



Hopefully, I'll get some sewing done while I'm there. I just realized that we have a PJ contest Saturday night and I have no fun PJ's at all. Hmmmm, I'll have to sleep on that.
