Vow Renewal Celebration!

Hi Everyone! Life in the Doherty household has been busy over the last few months. The time since we were first married has passed quickly, and we celebrated our second anniversary this past September. We originally had a friend in Florida marry us quickly because we were moving out to Monterey and the people we wanted with us on that special day were so far away.

In honor of our family and friends, we are organizing a vow renewal ceremony in September 2008 aboard the Liberty of Seas. Invitations went out last week and everyone is invited. The cruise is very family friendly, and there are many activities available for children. We look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it! Drop us an email if you have any questions: kitska16@hotmail.com

Hope to see you in the sun!

Jeff and Karen

Piecing the hexagons

Kaleidoscope Quilt

Karen has been working on a Kaleidoscope Quilt over the last two months and finished the top of the quilt earlier this evening. The original quilt fabric came from an Asian theme collection. The fabric has a tan background with pink and red cherry blossoms. This version of kaleidoscope quilt is made with a technique using one piece of fabric and cutting triangles that are sewn into hexagons. These are pieced in such a way that the end result looks nothing like the original fabric. We hung the quilt top on the way to take pictures. We have a few we took along the way to give an idea of the process. We can't wait to see the finished usable product!
