We know it's true. Weddings are magical. 

We got to experience a bevy of weddings this past summer, as you've seen here on the blog. (The above pic is of a gift basket Cora made for her bridesmaids! So beautiful!!) First, my darling daughter, Cora and her Nathan, then her cousin – my nephew, Phil and his Nina, and last, but not least, my cousin's daughter, MacKenzie and her Landon!!

Their wedding was beautiful! 

Such a gorgeous setting and family. It was such a pleasure to be able to celebrate with them!!

(we had to get in a #selfieswithsally at the reception!!)

So, for MacKenzie and Landon, I created a new pattern using my favorite color {teal}, and one of my favorite traditional blocks – the Dresden Plate!

Here are some other pics of it:

My favorite part is the middle of each dresden…

Guess what! Love really is hopeful!!!!

Especially at the start of a marriage…

and especially when you use hand embroidery!!!

Congrats to all of those who put on weddings this summer. And I'm excited that I actually finished 4 quilts completely this summer!!!

Finishes are #blissful…

Blessings!!
