I know some of you were and have been wondering if I finished by project for my son Travis' wedding - here are all the FSL Wedding Baskets on display at the thank you table. They were a big hit and I can't tell you - how many people come over and thanked me personally for the special gift from the Bride and Groom - how rewarding is that - that they even knew that I made them? They were filled with pastel mints. Thanks to Terri (twee) for all your help in getting this project finished, too.

Suelyn, thank you so very much - I have a couple things that I need to finish and when I get to where I can share about them - I will.

What a beautiful collection - a labour of love! No wonder people thanked you personally,
Shirlene, for a present like this, it must have taken so much of your time.

Caroline, thanks. I sure wished we lived closer than we do - the almost hour there and back took a lot of my presious time on the day of the wedding and it is so hard for me to drive these days without it having alot of pain later on. But nonetheless is was a blessing to have the help.

What a great job, and this is lovely - Wish I could be close enough to smell those lilacs - I used to love them when I was small - We don't have them down here. Now you need to rest!
1 comment
Beth, thank you so much - I wished I could send you some - they were so nice - the house next door has a wonderful tree that blooms by our driveway and on the other side of the property they have a 10 foot high hedge of them - that runs their driveway - lilacs were my Grandmother's favorite and I always loved the smell of them when we went to her home, too.

My goodness, what a task. Beautiful. I also love the Lilacs, they are my favorite flower. I miss them since we moved to the Southeast. The closest thing to them are the Wisteria which has beautiful purple flowers and smells so sweet.
1 comment
thank you - I love Lilacs, too and when I lived in NC - it was wonderful seeing the Wisteria hanging and so lovely - there is a lady down the street that has grown it along the edge of her eves on the house and it is so lovely over her porch and reminds me so much of NC.

It is always a good feeling when you can help someone in need, but I can't take to much credit, because my hands would have not been enough help to finish such a big project. But, I live in a small town where we know most everyone and we help one another when there is a need. I made a couple phone calls and at 9 am 10-11 ladies converged around my kitchen table working feverishly stitching and stuffing baskets. At 1:30 the last basket was completed and Shirley was on her way back home. Angels of love, most who didn't know Shirleen came to her rescue, what a blessing.
2 comments
I meant to type and Shirleen was on her way. Sure which we could edit things.
Yes, I meant to say somewhere in this - that you organized a old sewing bee around the table with your community - but didn't get it in. And I will forgive you for misspelling my name (teach), Shirlene
PS: It is amazing that so many helped at the last minute, too.

Thank you for LQQKing and for all the support and prayers. This was a great lesson in a big project for me - not to wait to the end - to finish up - one of the items - just in case it doesn't work out - you still have time to change what you are doing and not have to go through with it - as I did - but I am thrilled that they all got finished and that they were so lovely and received so well. What a blessing.
