You may think how far behind am I. Yes, incredibly, but true. How can I post one of the most important dates of my life that late!! On March 8th, we celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary! Oh my god… so many years, so much happiness!

But, it's better late than never, right??

For my defense, I had a few reasons; and without even noticing, the days went by. We are finished partnering with MATERIAL GIRLS QUILTS kits for a new quilt that my friends at QUILT MAGAZINE made for their next summer issue. I don't know the name yet, but this is how it will appear on the magazine: (thanks Deb for the picture, you are awesome!)

I love it! It was made with my Botanica Collection.

Another reason was the preparations for a great quilting show, Pour L'Amour du Fil, that will take place in Nantes, France in April 24-26. I am very happy that Art Gallery Fabrics will be the sponsor!! I will be talking about this show in future posts.

With all this work to be done and more, I didn't realize that today is the 21th!

Well, like I told you at the beginning of the post, I am now happily married for 24 years!! We are so happy… I think that we were made for each other, we are soul mates.

We went to Cheesecake Factory, and this time we wanted to be with our family.

We invited our son Alexander and my dear sister Andrea. She lives with us after her divorce. You see, we are a very close family. I have a big house with 8 bedrooms, so for me it's a pleasure that she's with me. We share everything…

Here we are with our son Alex

And I ate one of my favorite dishes: Chicken Picatta!

We had such a great time! When we came back home we looked at our wedding album and so many memories came to my mind. I can't describe with words the happiness my heart have felt through these 24 years. Two that became one. One we are for everything in life…

Handmade rocks… so let's keep on stitching!!
