Finish It Friday

I see that Amanda Jean has taken the month of August off, so I will put in a link up for finishes.  Hopefully you will all have something to share!   

I can't promise that I will always have a finish, LOL but I do have a BIG one this week.  

I finally get to share the wedding quilt!!!  

My nephew (and Godson) got married last Saturday and this quilt was for him and his wife. 

 I used the same colors I did for the quilt I made his dad but added some Kona Snow. 

 I am so pleased with how it turned out!!

Here are a few close ups of the quilting.  Kathy from Thread Bear Quilting did a fantastic job!

Notice the little green and white bit on the binding.  The rest of the binding is charcoal.

Love this quilting!

I made the back all gray and then used up a few of the left over HST to make one colorful strip.

I incorporated the hand embroidered label in the strip.

I love how the label turned out!

Here it is all "wrapped" up and ready to gift.  

Ok so now it's your turn.  

Show us what your finishes are!  

If you click on the blue Inlinkz button you can link a blog post showing what you have finished.

The link is active for 24 hours after I put it up.

Mark and Karly Get Married

My nephew Mark married his best friend, Karly this past Saturday.  

He is our Godson and the date was our anniversary. 

 We have been married for 33 years now. 

 It was a beautiful sunny day and everything was perfect.  

The wedding was at the MSU alumni chapel with the reception 

in the banquet facility at Spartan Stadium.  

I will show you some pictures but this one is my favorite. 

 I didn't take it but it is fabulous!

She looked like a real live princess and he was so handsome.  

It made my heart really happy.  

This is the couple that had all of their bridal shower gifts stolen.  

They persevered and today could not have been better.

The wedding ceremony was beautiful.  

There was a priest and a minister that was Mark's friend and they both did a great job,

They did it!

After the wedding, while we were waiting around for them to take pictures, 

I managed to get a few of my own family.  

My son on the left in the blue and my nephew, James on the right.  

These two sure love hanging out!

My two beautiful daughters

Thadd and Kelsey with Saprty.

I love this photo too!!!

Me and my hubby

Moving on to the reception, this was the view from the banquet facility.  Spartan Stadium!!!

Up for a little football ladies and gents??

A beautiful family photo of my two nephews, their wives and my SIL and BIL.  

The little one is the daughter of the nephew on the far left in this photo.  

Their baby was not there for the picture. 

 Such a happy day for everyone!

 Sparty was all lit up on our way out. 

 Great evening.  

Congratulations, Mark and Karly!

I finally got to gift their quilt too, but more on that later in the week.
