if you're wondering about the wedding

I wore the coat. Almost nobody noticed - there were about 300 people at the wedding, and the 'reception' was an afternoon tea with snacks. Plus, it was warm enough that I could take the coat off an hang it off my arm.

So we're good.

I gave them a quilt.



I also left them a note saying if they didn't like it, they were welcome to give it away to someone who did. I don't mind if people don't like the quilts I give them, but I should much rather the quilt be given away and used by someone than stuck in a closet because it's not to the recipient's tastes.

I'll probably keep sending them notes; I stopped writing to A about November last year. I didn't really know what to say or how to say it. But I'll write a few more letters this year - I have the notepaper and pens and inks and wax and seals - so that will be good. And maybe provide the opportunity for me to get to know N a bit better while keeping in contact with A.

I'm glad everything went well at the wedding.

It was a really lovely, really busy wedding. And I didn't realise until I got there and actually read the program that the bride's parents go to my old church. So it was pretty cool catching up with a bunch of people from my old church.

That's a pretty quilt.

Yay for a good time at the wedding. :)

It's a good design, although rather more effort than I liked. I might make another one; we'll see...

What a beautiful design - I hope they were happy to receive it! Glad all went well.

On the off-chance they didn't like it, I added a note saying what they could do with it. I don't mind if they give it away to someone who does like it, if it's not to their tastes; I just want it used!

That is an exceptional quilt, and I have no understanding of anyone who doesn't love it. :)

Aww, thank you!

But, you know, different people's style etc. I've seen some quilting I think is truly awful - and even made one which burned my eyes, but it was what the recipient wanted.
