TJ, Chrissy & Janie hosted this beautiful tea.

Kari shared a beautiful quote from Elisabeth Elliot

"To me, a lady is not a frilly, flouncy, frivolous  and fluff-brained,
but she is gentle, she is gracious, she is godly and she is giving.
You and I have the gift of femininity...the more womanly we are,
the more manly men will be and the more God is glorified.
Be women, be only women, be real women in obedience to God."

This quilt will be perfect to snuggle up 

together in South Carolina's 

cold winter!
