Weekend Recap!

Hello!  I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Were you able to squeeze in any sewing/crafting time?  On Saturday, I had some time to work on the wedding quilt.  Here is a sneak peek at the first to rows of the quilt.  For the most part the quilt is complete, except for the embroidery of the bride and groom's initials, plus wedding date!  :)

 

On Sunday my sister and I headed to the local outlet mall for a little retail therapy!  I have to say that it was SO nice to spend the afternoon together.  We both lead busy lives (well, she does and I'm just a homebody), so although we live close together we don't normally spend the afternoon together.  I picked up a cute dress for the upcoming wedding, and I think I turned my little sister onto Gap and Banana Republic.  She doesn't quite have the same love for the two that I do, but I did what I could, with the time that I had!  :)

Do you have a sister that lives close by?  If so, what do the two of you find yourselves doing for fun?

    I LOVE this wedding quilt. So cute. I actually just spent the last year living WITH my now sister-in-law before she married my brother. We had cups of tea together every day and baked cakes together every weekend =) x
