::Autumn Wedding::

November 1, 2008 By Katie

I made my deadline and finished the wedding quilt. I won’t even go into the details of my mess up on the edging. It’s fixed and looks great. I was so pleased with the outcome. I quilted it with a simple stitch in the ditch around the squares with variegated thread. As I was sewing the edging to the flannel backing the batting got puffy and soft. If you’ve never worked with Carolina Chambray I highly recommend it. The depth of the color is amazing. I wanted to keep this for myself and am a little bummed I didn’t have time to get some fabulous pictures of it on the gingham covered hay bales they had for seating by the river.

Halloween weekend was spent in a whirlwind. Jeffrey and I met up in Phoenix from separate locations, drank some wine and soaked in the warm air with out a child in tow.

Friday we headed to our friends ranch on the Verde River for their wedding. After a filling dinner of Navajo Tacos we pulled out the sleeping bags and solidly slept till dawn.

The day was beautiful. I was able to take a brief run on the dusty warm dirt roads and then frosted my first wedding cake!

Sunday I was home. Hard going from the nice warm desert in Fall to November in Seattle.

    You’re right…really beautiful color depth on the quilt. I love it! And it seems to fit right in with their style.

    Lucky couple!

    […] I’m totally excited to be carrying 16 beautiful colors from the Carolina Chambray collection by Robert Kaufman. They are beautiful medium-weight, yarn dyed, shot cottons. Each is woven with one color in the warp and another color in the filling which gives the fabric an iridescent look. The color changes as the cloth moves in the light. They’re an excellent choice for clothing as well as quilting. Check out Katie’s Carolina Chambray quilt. […]
