Wedding was wonderful . . .

My stepdaughter's wedding was yesterday evening and it was beautiful.  She held it at a small winery with beautiful grounds.  Lots of trees, bushes, a pond and of course, lots of grape vines.  She was beautiful and the groom looked wonderful in his USAF dinner dress uniform.  It was all just perfect.  Her uncle officiated for the ceremony and they chose some meaningful readings and their vows were great.  My husband looked splendid in his tux as Father of the Bride.  It was a nice evening and lots of fun.

Our guests left for home today so things will be back to normal soon.  The groom flies back to Florida where he is stationed on Tuesday and the bride is leaving Wednesday to drive to Florida with a stop mid-way to visit aunts and uncles.  I can get back to working on her quilt then.

I was very surprised on Tuesday with a package from Katie.  I won her giveaway and these lovely things arrived:

Remember these great items?  These plus a wonderful chocolate bar and the July/August 2010 issue of Quiltmaker magazine full of great patterns and information.  I haven't had much time to look at everything but I am so happy to be the winner.  Thanks Katie! ! ! 

Well, I have been up since 6:30 this morning so it is time to take it easy!

    I'm so glad the wedding went well. It sounds beautiful and very meaningful with a family member officiating and all.

    I'm glad to know the goodies made it. You may smile to know I was standing in the store, staring at the rack of magazines, scratching my head trying to decide which one was best. And though I couldn't open the one I sent, that quilt on the front kept calling me back, so I was really hoping it wasn't one you already had and it would have at least a project or two somewhere in there that interested you. :)
