Last weekend two very sweet people got married. Jay and I both worked on a little something for them. I have been waiting to post pictures until they got home from their honeymoon and opened their presents. The word on the street is that all gifts have been opened... so I present the No. Five Mrs. Hess quilt. You see, Brook is now the fifth Mrs. Hess, so we had to create something that symbolizes this world changing event. Afterall, there are five of us now. Five fabrics on the front of the quilt, representing each Mrs. Hess. Wrap that up with one poem written by my Mr. Hess and you have one original wedding gift!
“I need some Hess women,” said God So he found a great couple and gave Norma a nod And Norma was a great great commencement But one Mrs. Hess was just not sufficient So Norma bore her first born son And Richard Hess began to run All over Milford, here and there Until he met a young girl with long dark hair He thought, “this girl, I must make my wife” And the second Mrs. Hess came to life Not long after, came David and Dee And before we knew it, the Mrs. Hess’ were three To Germany, Texas and Utah too And in the process two boys grew The girl with long dark hair had a son And the road to four Mrs. Hess’ begun Jay married a girl from 45140 And left for Virginia with Melissa in tow Back home in Ohio, Tristan met Brook And like most love stories it began with a look They walked, talked and their love began to thrive And so that’s why today we now have five.....Mrs. Hess’
If you would like the pattern for this quilt, you can find it here, it was pretty high tech!
Congrats again, Mr. and Mrs. Hess
xoxo, Mr. Hess and No. Four
