Today I am super excited to be sharing this beautiful new Playful Posies quilt finish with you featuring the oh so cute Cottage Charm Collection by Kenzie Elston for Poppie Cotton!! And you know how I love adding a dark background to my new quilts to show how they pop . . .well, Playful Posies needed a dark background and how gorgeous are those flowers in Cottage Charm just popping off of the background ;)
This Cottage Charm Quilt is so much fun to make and it is Layer Cake Friendly so you can just grab a stack (or 2 for this size) and add your background fabric. I used Blue Ribbon Dark Blue Country Confetti for my background fabric and yes, I use it a lot!!! It is such a favorite background :) I just love how it makes all of those charming prints just look so bright and happy!!
And while this might look a little difficult, Playful Posies it truly is a great beginner quilt with basic quilting techniques. Just a few different size Stitch and Flip corners to keep track of, and of course, I gave you pressing directions for nested angled seams, my favorite!!!
And once again, I am so thankful to my amazing MIL Barbara. Barbara did the quilting and piecing on this one for me :) And her quilting is just oh so cute!! She quilted echoed paisleys in the background and then all different flowers and vines on the petals. She is just so creative in her quilting ;) It just adds to the charm of the quilt!!
And like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, the the nice thing is, the Playful Posies Pattern has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you like. This is the picnic size, but you can make it from a baby size all the way to a queen size ;) The bigger the quilt, the more flowers dance across it!!

Happily Ever After starts with The Happy Catering Company. We would love to be a part of your special day. We specialize in tailoring your menu to meet your needs and budget. Happy Wife, Happy Life, Happy Catering!
The Happy Catering Company exceeded so many of my expectations during my wedding! First of all, the team is so friendly and approachable which made it fun to meet with them during the entire wedding planning process. They truly cared about your vision for the wedding and wanted everything to look perfect and run smoothly.
They also have AMAZING food. We had a cocktail hour, dinner, and late night brownies and cookies during our wedding. When I say every course was a hit, they were an absolute HIT. Everyone was complimenting the food and everyone went on and on about how delicious everything was. We even had leftovers to take home after the wedding! My mom was able to pack my fridge with chicken skewers, the famous crack dip, chicken fingers, and brie rings to name a few! My husband and I are still working on the leftover food from our wedding in the middle of December and it is January! And let me tell you, it still taste as good now as it did then :)
The Happy Catering Company is one I would recommend over and over again. This team is trustworthy, hardworking, polite, professional, and just overall talented. If you want your guest to fall in love with your food and have a great time, The Happy Catering Company is the way to go!
I wanted high quality food, but on a budget. I really did not think something like that existed until my wedding planner brought Happy Catering to my attention. And my goodness if they don't have every type of food you could possibly want. They were so helpful in suggesting what goes well together once we picked the main items we wanted. When we went in for our tasting, it was all laid out beautifully with all of the different silverware options, plate options, and the food we had picked. Even after the tasting, I made one last change and it was no issue at all for them. The process was such a breeze and I cannot say enough about how amazing the quality of the food AND display was at the wedding. Since the wedding, we have had countless people asked who our vendor was and have complimented every item we had. If I ever need catering again, Happy Catering will be the first place I go. Thank you all so much for making our wedding so wonderful!
I HIGHLY recommend The Happy Catering Company. Holly was a pleasure to work with. She helped customize a menu that fit my fianc's picky taste, my eccentric taste, and my parent's budget. Guests raved for weeks about how good the food tasted. Another thing that sets Happy far and beyond other caterers is the display of the food. It was gorgeous!! I can't say enough about working with them.
One of the more important things at a wedding is making sure your guest are fed and fed well. And from our tasting I knew how well our guest would be taken care of. People after the wedding were telling me how they were going back for 2nds and 3rds because the food was so good. They sent us with a bag of food after the wedding and we were so thankful we got to eat the amazing food after the night was over. We are so thankful for them and all they did for our wedding. Such an amazing vendor!!
Let's be honest. Good food = happy guests. I know when ever I go to a wedding, I look forward to the food. My husband and I knew that food was something that we had to get right so I researched several places and OMG the prices! But I then found Happy Catering. Not only were their prices the best I had seen, but they had a very wide menu. I sent an email to ask about quoting us a price and they responded the same day! I gave them a little information, set up a meeting, and picked our menu. A month or so later, we did our taste test and everything was great! We got to take home the left overs. Another bonus for using Happy is that they take presentation to the next level. Everything always looks so pretty (I've seen/eaten Happy at multiple events). They are so professional, easy to get in touch with, and so experienced that I recommend them to everyone! Thank you Happy for being with us during our big day
I didn't think Happy Catering could do a better job for the wedding reception of my second daughter than they did for my first daughter...but they did! The quality and taste of the food, the amount of food, the presentation and the professionalism of their staff was over the top. Glad I don't have another wedding in my future but if I did I would definitely use Happy Catering again!
Awesome experience. I had never had to plan an event before. They told me exactly what I needed and handled everything. Our team meeting for 50 people went off beautifully. Food was excellent, servers were awesome. I would highly recommend them.
The Happy Catering Co catered one of our events with the chamber of commerce. They brought in food for our Business After hours sponsorship. They worked amazingly well on short notice. The food was excellent and they were nothing but professional. We will undoubtedly use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for quality catering
We catered a work event and forgot ice, the delivery man left and went to the store to get us ice. He went the extra mile. In the rain! The food was REALLY good, and everything was very organized. I highly recommend. Wonderful company, with great people.

I enjoyed the experience and will always keep in contact with Happy Catering for services. ... MoreHappy Catering catered to UAB School of Health Professions.

The catering service we had was bright and early for deliver. But Happy Catering still made it on time. The staff knew exactly what they needed to do and kept a close eye on food portions getting low or customers looking around needing something. GREAT JOB!
