For Brian and Brooke

This is the quilt I made for Brian and Brooke.  You see, they are getting married.  


Brian was one of my very first friends in this world.  While I was quilting, I thought a lot about Brian.  Brooke, I know you are in good hands.  I remember Brian convinced his mom to buy me this hideous beautiful green beaded necklace at a garage sale, when we were probably about 4 years old. I thought it was the most beautiful necklace.  He has always been very generous, that Brian.  Brooke, I am sure he will buy you lots of jewels and treasures, as well.

I also remember a time when these bigger kids came riding by on their bikes, and they were not very nice to me.  Brian took care of them and told them to get lost.  So, I know, Brooke, that Brian will take good care of you.  He is very loyal, protective, confident, and in-charge.  He has always been that way...he will make a wonderful husband. 
So, to my friend, Brian, and his beautiful bride, Brooke...may this quilt help you make a cozy home together.  While I quilted it, I prayed for a very happy marriage.
