I’m back at my computer again! I’ve been away from my sewing machine and my computer for more than two weeks for my daughter, Deirdre’s wedding!
It’s been a crazy, but lovely, two weeks of family, friends and celebrating the happy couple!

Yesterday, the last of the guests took leave and I took a nap then headed straight to my sewing room. I pulled out a quilt sandwich scrap and was back in action!
This little bird is thinking of you–tweeting “Good Morning, Quilters”!
GIVEAWAY
If anyone would like this unbound, mini-quilt, please leave a comment–either a message for Deirdre and Ryan or just say “Good Morning” and we’ll pick a winner at random on Wednesday!

Thank YOU for being so patient!
One proud, but tired MOB, (Mother of the Bride)

Congratulations to your daughter and her new hubby and to you for taking time off to enjoy the whole wedding festivities. After 2 weeks off from your sewing room I’m sure you were like I get excited to walk back in and stitch something. I feel so much happier when I’m in my sewing room. Hope the heat is letting up over there as it’s found it’s way here to MI.

Congratulations to the bride and groom and especially to the bride’s Momma, who probably wore herself ragged for those two weeks, and survived.

Congrats, MOB. I was once one too. It’s very exciting but a bit of a let down when it’s over and the kids are off on their own. Glad to have our crafts to go back to.

For Deirdre and Ryan, an old Irish wedding toast ….
“Wishing you always walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
And the love and laughter of those you hold dear”
May you both live as long as you want
And never want as long as you live
And now, Lori, that little birdie looks like she’s saying “I’m FREEEE, I’m FREEEE”!!
