| Double Wedding Ring Quilt |
Today is my 25th wedding anniversary, so I’m
posting a picture of my Double Wedding Quilt which is also the background of my
blog.
This is the first quilt I made after taking the beginning
class at a local quilt shop (many years ago). I decided
to make a queen size quilt and got the top done promptly, originally I thought
I might hand quilt it however after practicing on another quilt (for several
years) I have realized hand quilting is not for me. I eventually took it to Colleen Tessier – a local
longarm quilter and she did a beautiful job quilting it, this was before I
bought my APQS Millennium longarm quilting machine.

The double-ring ceremony, or use of wedding rings for
both partners, is a relatively recent innovation. Originally worn by wives only, wedding rings
became customary for both husbands and wives during the 20th century.

do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads
which sew people together through the years. ~Simone Signoret
