When I started my Cotton and Steel quilt, it was all about bravery while soft, strength while vulnerable and truth...I had thought it would encourage me on.
Alas..I am such a slow work in process(WIP)... I put the top away.
Then Rachel got married...and I knew she and Alesa were definitely Cotton and Steel...
How perfect!
I have always felt that a quilt is not finished until the binding is on..a binding can change the whole ambiance of a quilt...never mind a cool backing...
So here is love...finished and revisited...for Rachel and Alesa!!

Yesterday's wedding was so awesome...I really loved it...till I went south emotionally. myself..that is..
It was outside on a lake in the beautiful Carolina blue.
Abundance of love.
See the awesome wedding cake that made my mouth drool:
Yes....success..Thank you God.
.I was able to have lunch with a friend...able to go to the pool for exercise.
And, tonight, gratefully, Emi-Lou's cafe is open with cooking lesson # two for 9 year old Evan.
Voila the rose garden. Picture is for my brother-in-law, Declan who cut them back during his February visit...of course under Fintan's supervision,.
It is nice to know that love and hope are intertwined...maybe I will not die of a broken heart after all..maybe
