Here is the reason that I went to the big city in the first place;


Isn't she beautiful? Well I know she is, inside AND out.
It was a nice ceremony. About 48 students were inducted into the Ivy Honorary Society which is focused on Scholarship, Leadership and Service. We're so proud of you College Girl!! I'm so glad that I was able to be present at the event.
I had the wrong shoes so walking much was out of the question. We tried to view the apartment where college girl wants to live next year but despite the signs that said OPEN HOUSE, they were closed. It was such a lovely day we ate our lunch in the sunshine;

I stitched more on the binding before going to bed on Saturday and Sunday after church I sat in the sun and finished that and then started on the Verna quilt binding. Such a relaxed weekend. It was good to see college girl and my friends.
Met up with my road trip friend on Monday morning and we made the long trek back home. Chatting about our weekend with our daughters and I stitched away on the Verna binding. When both were finished I got them washed and dried.

Hubby was completely floored when I told him the Verna quilt was for his mother for Mother's Day. He had no idea I was even making it! I think it is just hard to distinquish one project from another when he walks into my sewing room.


I have still sewed SOMETHING everyday. Once the runner and quilt were done I went back to the POSH quilt binding. I am ALMOST done with that, hopefully tonight after the VBS meeting that I need to attend.
I also have a purse cut out and fabric for three children's aprons ready to cut out. I've gotta get busy!
Praise - for the wonderful time spent with college girl and friends and the safe travels.
Prayers - for the preparations and the first meeting for VBS.

Sounds like a wonderful & productive trip. Funny about DH not noticing the project, I agree that they can't distinguish like we can :) Congrats to CG :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed! Glad everything went so well.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous!! Remember I have a son! :) He'll be available in 18 months.
ReplyDeleteWould have been nice to see a mother/daughter photo!! ;)
Beautiful daughter--Congratulations on her accomplishments! Awesome projects--I love the colors and fabrics in the table runner. Also--I chuckled out loud when I read your prayer request! Our steering committee for VBS is meeting this Sunday after church for 2 hours! People think I am little crazy that I teach school all school year and teach VBS in the summer. It is all for Him!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you could come! It was such a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe table runner looks beautiful! And the quilt is really pretty--such a nice gift for grandma.
Love you!
College Girl
Oh everything and everyone is beautiful...I'm certain MIL will be pleased. What a beautiful gift!
