Chi O Quilt

This past weekend, I gave my friend B the Chi O T-shirt quilt my Nana finished for her in April. She loved it as you can see here with her own blog post about it. I realized seeing that post that I’d never made one about mine or the one Nana made for Kelly.

Mine came first after I got the idea from my good friend & sorority big sister Melissa who’s super crafty & made her own. I found some sample ones online. Nana is super crafty & was able to create a pattern for it. We decided 4 shirts across & 5 shirts down. Next the hard part was deciding which 20 shirts!! I found NCSU fabric at Walmart for in between the shirts & a cute red & white dots fabric for the back & sides. I decided to have my shirts in order of event date even though that meant a few slashing colors are close by. Nana calls mine the “rough draft”, but I say its anything but!

Wedding Day Photos!

Here’s a few of my favorite photos of Kelly’s wedding day. The day started at Jolie Salon & Spa where some of us got out hair done while others were at the mall getting their make up done. Afterwards, the bridesmaids all met up for lunch at Village Deli/Cafe Carolina in Cameron Village (Kelly’s mom as well as my mom & aunt stopped by then to say hi!). We then headed to the church to do make up/hair, chill, & get dressed. Photographs started outside but were quickly moved indoors due to rain. That’s lucky right?! Next came the beautiful ceremony & a few more family photos. We then headed on to the reception held at Brier Creek CC. The wedding party had its own cocktail hour area with drinks & appetizers. Most of these photos are from the ceremony when we had a chance to take them. Here’s Kelly & her mom & my mom & I.The reception seemed to fly by: introductions, first dance, wonderful station for dinner, then Kelly & her Dad’s dance, cake cutting. The Chi Omega’s in attendance sang “Shades” to Kelly then we started off the dance party!Here’s husband & I, the new Mr & Mrs, & “Annie” & her Kevin 🙂 Good times with friends old & new!A little more mother/daughter love at the end of the night!

And Mr & Mrs S are off to St Lucia!! Congratulations to an awesome couple!
