The End of an Era…

 

soap.quilt.maire 007

  1. period with its own chronological system: a time period within which years are consecutively numbered from a particular significant event that provides its starting point

Synonyms: age, epoch, eon, period, time, years, date

I’m thinking this project fits that definition!

Since the recipients will soon celebrate their SECOND anniversary,and this WAS a wedding gift ,I think it’s safe to say that it has been part of an “ERA” that has ended! WHEW!

It was a bit ambitious for my skill level but I did it!!!

I think with this complete I have accomplished most of the “I wish I could do that” ideas I’ve had.

I guess everything else will be Lagniappe?Translation=unexpected bonus: an unexpected bonus or extra

fabulously beautiful....a work of art. Kuddos to you, Autumn. The recipients are quite lucky!!!

Autumn said...

Yes, Stephanie- we were new friends back then!! :)
It is a load off my mind too.
Now I have just one more to complete and I should have ample time before I have to think about Luke getting married!!!
On second thought maybe I should start it right away!!!!

Thanks friends!!!!

Autumn it turned out just perfect. Of course it took that long all done by hand like that my gosh that is a lot of work. Way beyond my capabilities I do not have the patience just hand quilting takes me forever.

They will treasure the hand work forever and the grandbabies a very lovely heirloom.

I believe women of the past definately began them long before a marriage was even thought of hence hope chests.

Your label is cute. Congradulations on finishing be proud it is gorgeous. Heck you deserve a dove chocolate.

Autumn!! That is just so beautiful!! I truly envy anyone who has the skill and patience to spend all of that time hand-quilting a masterpiece like that. They are so lucky to have a new family heirloom.

BTW, start Luke's now!! LOL
