On the 4th of July, Alden Lane Nursery (home of Quilting in the Garden / QITG) was a glow with Wedding festivities. Who, you might be asking was tying the knot? Cyndee´s (my personal friend, fellow pirate and leader of QITG) son Matt and his beloved fiancee, Mia were celebrating in style. I told Cyndee anything she needed, she could count me in. First duty was to sew a tiny pocket for inside the wedding dress to hold a coin (sorry about the blurry picture), then on the 3rd it truly was "all hands on deck". The details were incredible. Things to take note of: The green rectangle was for the ring bearer - when finished it had pink ribbons securing the rings. The party favors were pink fire crackers in bags with pink and brown jelly bellies along with a candy bar - OH yes!!!. The cake was tiered cup cakes and guess who made the flower girls flower ball? Also, Mia´s parents are from Vietnam, and her Mom wore a traditional "long dress" - check out the fabric on that!! It was pleasure and honor helping behind the scenes - the amount of friendship, care and love in the air was intoxicating. The best part? I hear that across the United states fire works were displayed - now THAT was working out the details. OK - so this is not exactly quilt related, but honestly - who can´t resist a love story?
