Wedding Gift

My son's good friend is getting married next weekend.  They went through elementary, middle, and high school together, and he tries to meet her for coffee whenever he comes home.  She is an elementary school art teacher.  My son and I looked through my pile of finished quilts and found one that is perfect gift for her:  Inverted Star.


I think the art teacher in her will appreciate the ROYGBIVness of it all, and the modern young lady will like the layout.  As for her husband to be, he may think it is a little girly, but we chose it with Erin in mind.  Last night I finished cross stitching the label for it.   I usually print them out on my computer, but for special occasions, I like to personalize them a little bit more.


I wrapped the quilt in 2 yards of fabric I found on sale that was white with little silver wedding bells printed on it.  The bride's  mother is also a quilter and very crafty.  She said she will make a tablecloth, pillowcases or some other keepsake for her daughter with it.    I failed to take a picture of the wrapped gift, but it was very eco-friendly, no box or paper,   just the quilt fabric, wide ribbon that can be reused and a few silver and white clips to help hold it all together.  I think I enjoyed wrapping it as much as sewing it!

Great quilt! I just had hubby look at it, and he says it isn't girly. He'd like it on our bed.
