Hi, I got this bought by my friend in US. Thanks very much. I got to know the design thru you.

[2Danes]

Oh how lovely

You are doing an amazing job!

[agi]

This is absolutely fantastic Can't wait to see the ribbons now.

It's been over a month since my last update so I owe you a massive one. But for now I'm gonna be mean and just post a teaser


tomorrow you'll get to see the dress complete (apart from beading) with ribbons et al

[Jaki :)]

[karen4bells]

ooohhh.. you are evil.. make us wait all this time on the ribbon colors and then make us wait longer?!?! Sitting on the magic bench waiting for more photos please!!

[Rose]

That looks nice with those colors!!

[XandraS]

Ok, you've all been so patient so here is the actual update With LOTS of pictures

Full picture - so hard to take a good picture of the whole thing. Especially the veil can be difficult to see sometimes


So here are some close ups.

A bit easier to see the veil, and bride's hair finally done, still some backstitching to do on the faces though.



The long awaited ribbons.I'm sorry you had to wait to long maggie, but I actually only decided the colour last week


Biggest bow


One of the smaller bows


And let's not forget the bridal bouquet, which still needs some backstitching.



I've made a start on the border, which is in DMC Light Effects. Have I ever told you how much I HATE Light effects? Well I do.

I should also mention that I've decided to leave out the bride's maid, so there is only (not quite the right word as they are all in metallics) the border and lettering left to do.

[karen4bells]

Wow!!! It's just absolutely gorgeous! As for the light effects, I too detest stitching with them--and vow never to again!! Can't wait to see the end result!! This is going to make a fantastic gift!

[pimpom]

Wow this is so beautiful

[MaggieM1750]

Yippee!! And the decision on ribbon color has been made! Looks great and I like all the different colors in her hair. I'll keep following along, sitting quietly on the magic bench.

[Rose]

That is awesome!!! Your color choices are wonderful!!!!!

[Jaki :)]

It's stunning very pretty & delicate Hate stitching with light effects also my stitches never seem to lie nice xx

[annkor26]
