Hello everyone

It's my best friend's wedding in the summer and I am chief bridesmaid!

I wanted to get my friend something special, but her and her husband to be have lived together for a while and so have everything they need...and more, so I decided to make her something lovely to commemorate her day and show her how much she means to me!

She's in her 30s so I didn't want to get her a cutesy forever friends one or similar, but she is religious and it means a lot that she is getting married at chruch so I thought thia design was perfect.

Hope you agree.

I adore this sampler, but most of all I like the idea of gifting one's friend with such a unique, handmade, personalised and time-consuming present, so I hope she'll appreciate it immensely.
This reminds me, unluckily, of a similar project i had started for my friends, but her marriage came and the project was still unfinished, and it is up to now! I reckon, though, that that job was too ambitious for my then abilities, and if I could go back I would have chosen something more simple.
Anyway, you have plenty of time to stitch this, so you may want to set some deadlines in order to have the project finished one month before the big event.

Good luck with your stitching, I'll be watching you!

Great choice of design, and the thought that has gone into choosing just the right sampler for her will make the finished piece even more special!
