Embroidered napkins for a wedding.
This week I embroidered 96 napkins for a wedding. The couple wants to use them as place settings and favors, so each guest's name is on them! How fun is that? I might just steal that idea one day!

Basket lattice quilt
I took a class last JUNE to make this quilt and left it in a box for almost a year! It was very time consuming due to multiple pieces and unfinished seams throughout, so I just lost interest. Then a few friends finished theirs and they were beautiful, so I took mine out last Friday and finished it just a few minutes ago.
The fabric is Dancin' in the Rain and I loved it from the first moment I saw it, even though I am generally not a batik person. It's just so pretty. I was going to give this as a wedding gift to a cute couple but my friends all said no! I have to keep it! :) so I might. I was thinking about a border with appliquéd umbrellas and raindrops which I think would be pretty. Or I might leave it alone and just quilt it. Now that the hard part is done, borders will be easy.
