Wedding Day!

Thursday Doors on a Saturday because I have much to share this week. We have added one more to our family by way of a beautiful wedding on Saturday. We’re very blessed to welcome our new son-in-law, Wes, to the family and cannot wait to see what their future holds!! We have several photos to share. Happy to add that this time, they’re from my phone.😊 Kirsten was busy being the maid of honor. She’d be first to remind me that it is always nice to get back behind the lens. Especially for such a wonderful life moment. My heart is full!!

So without too much more chit chat, I’ll get on with the stars of the show, the new Mr. and Mrs. I expect to have several posts related to this long weekend in Kansas but the wedding photos have had many inquiries. Hope you enjoy these!

Ron has been practicing for this moment at therapy for months!

And I have long awaited sharing the following photos as well. Since coming home in late April, I’ve finished 2 quilt commissions and 1 wedding quilt. Both commissions are gifts that I have promised to not share until they’ve been gifted. But finally, I get to at least share one of them!! So below, I present to my readers, the National Parks quilt I made for the newlyweds. Ron & I hope they get the opportunity to mark off each park visited in their life together! Made with all my love in every stitch!

Fits a queen bed nicely!

It’s been such a joy to share these moments with you and I want to thank you for reading! Please take a few to stop over at Dan’s @ No Facilities for more Doors from around the world!

  4. Wonderful! Beautiful bride! Blessings on the happy couple.

    And what a good mom to have the quilt ready in time for the wedding day. (I still owe my brother and sister-in-law a quilt for their March 2024 wedding. (Had to finish two other long-awaited quilts first.)

  9. Thank you for inviting us to the wedding! It’s so uplifting — the young people, the colors (I love the red!) and the miles of smiles! The quilt is a wonder to me. A work of love for sure. What a beautiful day!
