Free Pattern Friday ~ Celtic Knots

 

Top of the Morning to you!

This quilt appeared in my 

The Wedding Quilter Posts in 2013

which I made for my daughter in her wedding colors.

My Girl has always been a lover of Celtic Knots,

so I chose this lover's knot pattern for her table. 

I went looking for the pattern for this block.

 Apparently I designed it myself and never 

posted the cutting and sewing directions. 

There are similar blocks out there in block land,

but none of them are free.

Hmm ... what to do?

~~~

I found a new-to-me free Celtic Knot Block Design:

The Wedding Quilter Quilts

The Wedding Tables

 

With a big THANK YOU! to MK, 

my daughter's best friend and maid of honor,

who was the lovely person at the wedding

who took this lovely photo of her table.

This also shows the beautiful paper rose bouquets

that they made together for the bridesmaids.

and

 

 

 The Wedding Cake Table and Quilt

 The beautiful and delicious cake itself 

was a gift of the Maid of Honor's cousin.

 

 

By the big day, "The Wedding Quilter" made 12 quilts:

 

 

8 of the large flower "Marissa" quilts for the guests' tables,

 

 

1 of the hexagon flower "Patricia" quilts for the escort card table,

 

 

 

1 small flower "Emeline" quilt for the pretty little flower girl,

the Bride and Groom's 4 year old niece.

This photo was taken before the binding was sewn to the back.

I actually brought the last three quilts with me the day before the wedding and finished hand sewing the bindings to the back that evening

to keep my hands busy. 

 

 

"Dance of the Blessed Spirits"

The Sweetheart's Table Quilt (center)

 

and

 

 

"The Wedding Quilt"

which my daughter plans to use as a wall hanging.

 

Unfortunately, I do not have good photos of just the table quilts at the reception.  I did take some pictures at the start, but then I had a memory card failure in my camera and lost all the ones I had already taken at the ceremony and reception.  Fortunately, I did have a second memory card and was able to take the videos of the first dances that my daughter was hoping to have and a few more pictures.  

 

Mostly, though, I just enjoyed this wonderful day with my family and friends and forgot that I had a camera.

 

I received many lovely compliments from the guests on my quilts and

there were many photos taken and I am sure a few will surface in the coming weeks and I will find some to post later.

 

For now these will have to do ...

Thanks to all who have followed along and supported me and sent well wishes to my Daughter and Son-In Law while I have ventured down

"Wedding Quilter Lane."

 

Time to turn my quilty attention to new ventures.

 

I have a Christmas Quiltyness to sew!

 

I am posting in the fabulously festive

Ho Ho Ho! Hop

on Friday!

 

My quilt is in pieces right now!

 

Time to sew!!

In my music player ... "The Dance of the Blessed Spirits" ...
which will be played by one of her best flute friends
as my daughter walks down the aisle.
Whenever I hear this, though, I hear only my daughter
as she played this herself many years ago in a recital.
I made the request that this be played at her wedding, but
My Girl already had picked this herself and had wanted to surprise me.
I am not surprised.
I am very happy.
