Earlier in the summer, some of my quilty friends and I did a Murder/Mystery luncheon. It was really one of the high-lights of my summer. Here are some photos of the day!!
We were asked to dress our part--I was Kneedle and Thread, a.k.a. Nettie.
The yard of my good, good quilty friend was decorated just right!! Not a detail overlooked. I loved all the lavendar.
Nothing cuter than a table with a quilt tablecloth.
It says,' Cats Rule--at least at this house."
I have very talented friends.
I want my cinder block wall to look just like this--it was DARLING!!!!
We each got to choose one of these cake holders. I picked the white one. They were made with plates and cups of vases found at gargage sales and thrift stores.
LOVE IT!!
See all those aprons on the back of the chairs. We each got one!! So generous...
The yo-yo quilt you see in the background, on the right, is mine. My Mom made it--it has over 1,400 yo-yos--made from fabric in the sixties :)
How delicious is that?
Nicknamed the "BabyKiller" quilt because she stuffed the puffs so full of batting. It weighed A LOT!! (She has never put it on a baby :)
What a darling quilt. We had a quilt show, too after we figured out who the murderer was. I have the BEST friends..we laughed and laughed and laughed. Today, we are heading to a quilt show together--more adventures (and pictures) await....
Have a fabulous day.
Be Nice to People,
Julie
