Wedding Anniversary

Post by Pengwenn »

My parents will be married for 50 years this summer. Even though it's not until Sept we are having a big family vacation in June to celebrate. I'm going to be making these two patterns as pillows so they can put them on their bed as decoration (their walls are running out of room for something to hang). I'm not going to do the sayings but instead have their names and wedding date (original on the young and 50th on old). I'm doing it on 14ct Antique White Aida 3 over 1 full stitches.

Here's the two patterns:
