Parties and minis

I survived the graduation party!!! I should make a T-shirt. Just kidding. Sunday we celebrated Sam's (DD#2) graduation from the University of Illinois. The last class is completed and it was time to party.
DD is a vegetarian so first there was a battle of wills between DD and DH over the menu. Guess who wanted meat?  We compromised and ordered food from the Pita Inn. It is middle east food and much of it is vegetarian. DD did agree to some meat dishes as well. I added fresh fruit to the table. Just to put out the food I needed my whole kitchen table, and most of the counter space.
My Dad, sister, niece, and Aunt all came. DH's cousins came too. I think we had around 20. Later in the evening DD friends came over. There was still lots of food and dessert. It was a very long day, but a very fun day. DD had a great time.

You may remember the quilt of the author I did for DD? Kind of tells you about her. Here is the cake she picked out. She also dictated what should be on the cake.

On the quilting front not much has been happening while party preparations were ongoing. I had to drop everything to get my minis done for the silent auction. Here are the completed ones. I am putting the bindings on two more. Depending on how many the organizer needs, I may be quilting up the last two and finishing them as well.

Happy stitching!
