Laura & Sam's Wedding (& Quilt)

On Saturday we went to a family wedding...

It was held on The Fruit Mount 
in the very beautiful RHS Wisley Gardens....
A beautiful bride.....

A gorgeous setting...

Stunning roses....

(metal ones on gates too!)

And a few very hot children!

Walking down the fruit mount, 
we saw apples and beautiful greenery....

and glimpsed two of the 'Kalico kids' playing so nicely together....

We even got a decent pose out of madam!

Wearing the fascinator I made to match her dress....

We all enjoyed this very special day...

And we enjoyed wandering around the gardens after the ceremony....

Lots to see...



And the view from above is very relaxing 
I believe ;o)


Flowers to make me homesick....
 I love these lilies...

And lush Bottlebrushes...

*****
At the reception, I was lucky enough to be entrusted with a 5 week old baby
He was a cutie....
I really enjoyed the baby snuggles!


The reception was held in the couple's garden...

One of my boys snapped this of Laura's dog 
(from under the table - great shot!)

A lovely day was had by all!

*****
Here's another pic of Miss-Kalico's hair fascinator...
(she had her bag packed and trundled it around for days 
in anticipation of our trip!)

***** 
And another picture of the quilt I made....
I used 5 inch squares so it came up relatively large
considering it's only 3 blocks by 3 blocks.

It was backed with 'bicycle' fabric
and the song went through my head of 'Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do...'
as I was quilting it :o)

 'We' (Miss Kalico & I) took the photos of the quilt in our garden...


And that is the 'end' of such a long post!!

Something Old, New, Borrowed & Blue

As I've had quite a busy week, and I'm quite tired, I'll be a woman of few words (and many pictures) of a friend's wedding that we attended on Wednesday, near London:

Here the boys make a run for the church after their 5 hour car journey...


(I missed the arrival of the bride due to an unforseen circumstance involving copious baby wipes and much embarrassment)

I am not a pink girl, but roses in any colour get me every time (especially when the bridesmaids roses matched my blouse!!)


The matching blouse (I wore it at our reception too!)


Pretty blonde girls...


Beautiful brides...

Happy couples...

Confetti monsters...
Partners in crime...

Horse drawn carriages...

My kind of cake!
(not wheat-free, but layers of marzipan - yum!)
