A Wedding and Free Motion Mavericks

Hi and welcome 😍. I've done very little sewing this week except to fix my daughter's dress for my son's wedding this weekend. It's been pretty busy and I'm happy to say that my and Hubby's health are progressing well. 

Our first born 😁

Stéphane has been featured on this blog a few times. I'll start at the beginning....his first quilt made by my mother and me.

Stéphane's first quilt - a dinosaur with balloons

Several years later 😊

Stéphane is very handy. He can draw, sew, crochet, etc. He is my in-house techy and engineer since I don't do 3-D well. He appreciates my art and quilts, except perhaps the abstract stuff 😃

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you may remember Version 2.0. It was a remake of my mother's quilt to Stéphane. It took me several years to make and 2 years to FMQ.

Thanks for obliging me 😊. I've been busy getting the wedding Welcome party ready and attending or driving to all of our health-related appointments. Next week, I really hope to add quilting and making to my self-care. I'm skipping my usual sections since the links are in the text.

Welcome to week 531 of Free Motion Mavericks! Thanks for linking up. The last two weeks have been very productive and since I'm feeling better, I'll be featuring all of the projects from the last two weeks that included FMQ, ruler work or walking foot quilting. 

The pattern for Niko, Preeti's quilt that was featured in Make Modern, is now available to purchase directly from Sew Preeti Quilts.
