Today I would like to share with you the items I made for the shower. The first is the signature quilt. I used Brenda Riddles (Little Acorns) pattern named "Remember Whoo Loves You" as my inspiration. Chelsea collects all things owls and I knew she would love this. I received a list of special women from her Mom and Diane and sent out blocks for their signatures. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed doing the applique. It is the first quilt that I have quilted by myself and I did enjoy the process.
While visiting dear girlfriends (The Stars) in Ohio. I saw lovely towers made from various pieces of china. As soon as I got home I began looking for pieces to make my own. I used Gorilla Glue and I can tell you for certain that these pieces are stuck together for life. Note to self: read instructions and do not get glue on bare skin. Hard to remove! The cute bride and groom cupcake toppers came from Sur La Table.
I used the top of the towers for flowers but you could just as easily use them for candles or candy. The cookie cutter is a wedding dress and was made from Lavender Shortbread.
I plan on using these china creations for years to come. So much fun and very little expense and work.
Chelsea, knowing how much I love EmersonMade, purchased this lovely pin as a thank you gift for me. Isn't it pretty? I can't wait to wear it!
Showers of blessings!
