My niece is newly engaged and starting to plan her wedding.  Remember the awesome gifts Grandma B and I purchased over the weekend?  She’s getting married in an old barn in Southern Illinois in less than 10 months!  If I’m focused, I can get 10 projects done before July…maybe?!?!

Here’s a picture of the barn they’ve chosen.  A friend of the groom’s family is loaning them the site at no cost.  Woohoo!

My first project for the wedding is a vintage swag for decoration and picture backdrop.  I’ve purchased 3 flat sheets, 2 curtains and 1 small piece of burlap from local thrift stores, totally $14.00.  Here are the fabrics I’m using so far (I’ll need to add some pink or green camouflage per the Bride’s request).

Here are a few wedding swags I’m using for inspiration:
