Happy Queen's Diamond Jubilee!

My awesome friend Katie served a mission in England and her birthday is the 4th of July so,
she is all about the red white & blue! 
She has a USA room and it's so cute! 
So for the Jubilee... I made her this little pillow! 

I made the corded binding and it turned out way cute!

 
Wait, now I want one!

Emily's Wedding

Dum Dum Da Duuummmmm....
 
Oh my bestie Emily got married! 
Emily was my 1st friend and BEST in AZ and we lived together for 5 years. 
She is like the sister I never had :)
 
About a year ago she moved to Florida and met a perfect southern gentleman!
Mr. Cook (insert hearts and birds singing here)
 
She asked me to be in her wedding and come to FL!
Of course how much fun it was!!! 
 
 We had a fabulous Bachelorette day! 
manis/pedis, lunch, shopping
buying eyelashes and treats for Em's honeymoon cruise!

  
 
 
We had a super fun wedding rehersal & dinner the night before.
Emily had a little surprise in store for us...
after the bride and groom left the aisle at the end,
'black & yellow' started playing and the wedding party had to DANCE our way back down the aisle to the outside!  ha ha ha 

Em asked me to do her hair and make up
We had lots of fun getting gussied up!


 
 (look how excited Mr. Cook is!)
 
Emily's cousin Abby and I had so much fun, Abby is truly an amazing woman! 
I am so blessed to have all these girls in my life! 
  
 
When her Dad walked in to get her he had to catch his breath :)
She was SO beautiful!
We had such a fun day and Emily looked so beautimous!!  (of course!)
 
Side note:  of course I had to be tan, hello - FL wedding..
So I got spray tanned and when I got to FL...
well... it was a little orange!   
 
 Ha!
Luckily it wore off :)

Baby Brielle!

Light Switches?  
I expanded this pattern to make it crib size.
Patty had found sheets and drapes in these colors but no quilt... 
So, we had to matchy!  
It matches Perfect!
Oh Dixie, you loved on this quilt b/c you knew Brielle has 2 Yorkie Brothers, huh?!

So Patty said she liked the Vintage look, aged pinks and tans.  
It's not what I expected from her but... 
I really like how it came together!  
I found some Civil War prints at Quilters Oasis and bought 20 prints! 

This is one of my fav blocks, the tan w/ little buds.  
The quilting is daisies in white which turned out super cute and girly!!
(thanks Mom, she got it quilted in ONE week, unheard of!)
Olivia said they look like Light Switches, which is funny cause they really kinda do!

So I made this schweeet heart quilt.  

The pattern is by Buggy Barn
I think each block has 18 pieces!!  
Paper piecing, my 2nd to date but FUN!  
I used scrap fabric from lovey pillowcases I've made over the year.  

The quilting is AWESOME!  
and, the back is pretty cool!  
(and huge!)
