Carli The Quilter

I'm so pleased to write this post and tell you about the wedding day and my lovely friends who became husband and wife. We know both of these young people and believe they will make a great pair and we'll see them often. Our lifestyles in this beautiful valley are unique for sure and many of us are leaving behind the conventions of large and expensive weddings. These two friends made such a gorgeous day and lots good time with a simple and modern country wedding. The look of love on Micaela's face spells a wedding in our future I'd say, but shoosh!

I'm busier than the beavers on the Bulkley River river right now! I have more blocks here for you to check out that are also going into the quilt.

Take care, its raining and warm today in Northern BC. Thanks so much for dropping on by my little blog! I'm linking up with Stitch  by Stitch. C...
