24 years ago today...

...was a big day for the Late Bloomer and her groom.




And here's a bit of trivia for you--that darling baby I'm holding? She was the recipient of the very first quilt I ever made.
It was a Sunbonnet Sue quilt from a 1980 issue of Quilt World magazine--you had to have several issues in order to get all the blocks and I had just the one and did not plan on waiting. So I pulled out all my super-cool polyester gingham, picked up a few pieces of pastel calico and went to town with my giant hearts. Sadly the photo doesn't manage to capture the quilt in its entirety, but trust me--it's for the best.



Also the best? These last 24 years!!
