Thirty eight years ago DH and I started on our journey together. Our friends sang the traditional mid 70's wedding songs The Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun," and " Where There is Love-The Wedding Song." As in all marriages we have had our joys: the birth of three sons, two wonderful daughters-in-love, and now soon to be six precious grandchildren. We were heartbroken when our oldest son was killed when he was four years old in an accident on our farm. Most of the time we have remained friends.. There are times I didn't like him very much--but never stopped loving him!
A couple of month ago Tatum looked up and noticed our wedding picture. She looked for a moment and the said, as only a 2 1/2 year old could, "Grandma, you're a princess!" Weren't we all princesses on our wedding day!
Does anyone have a book or source to learn how to do paper piecing? Now that I have started on my way of conquering my fear of applique, I would like learn how to quilt with paper piecing.
I Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Wow! 38 years. That's is really great. I bet he still looks the same to you too. Good luck with your MUF. Maybe you can find something online for the paper piecing.
Happy Anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary, Linda! My marriage has had it's ups and downs too and I think that's just life. It's mostly good. I'll be at the Friday Night Sew-In too! Hope you get lots done! I learned paper piecing from Carol Doak's books. Not sure which one. I'm sure Amazon has them all
P.S. You did look like a princess!
Hubby and I have been married 33 years and had "We've Only Just Begun" as our recessional at our wedding.
