Snowflake heart - framed!

[Dorris]

My little brother gets married in December and I wanted to make them a little something. As its a winter wedding and I know there is a heart theme with the invites I settled on this. It doesn't show too well in the pictures but I used three shades of dark blue - they are having midnight blue bridesmaid dresses. Now need to think about how to finish it. I was thinking about putting the wedding date in the middle - but I think I like it how it is?

What a lovely design, and so refreshing to see it in blue rather than the usual red. I might be tempted to put their initials and the year in the middle.

What a beautiful design!! I love it!!

I agree with Serinde, I would put their names or initials with the date in the middle.

This is lovely, very tasteful and elegant.
And good idea to do the initials and date in the middle.

[meerkat]

so pretty.I think I would add initials and the wedding date too

What a gorgeous design, and it sounds perfect for the happy couple!

I love it and I also love the blues!!!!!!! My Christmas tree is done in blues and silver!!!!!!

Very unique and gorgeous. I think their initials or just first names and the date would be great.

Beautiful work on a beautiful design.

[perftangel]

Oh I love this! What pattern is it? I must get it. =)

It is very beautiful as is, but I hope you'll add your initials.

This is so neat and lovely! If it was me I'd leave it as it was, a design like that is a statement and perhaps adding writing in the middle would detract from the delicate designs around the outside? Either would look lovely though

It's lovely either way. The addition of the initials would be a permanent reminder of the occasion, especially for future generations, you've got to assume this will be an heirloom piece.

Oh yes, how about you stitch the initials and date etc on a small spare bit of the same fabric and then lie it in the middle to see what it looks like?

Please do add your own initials or at least sign the back

I agree. I often forget to put my initials on a gift piece and then think that several hundred years from now on antiques road show (the space version I guess) they will all have to wonder who the stitcher was and I could have saved them the trouble. Your piece is definitely going to be an heirloom.

That is beautiful! I would add their monogram to the center.

[Squirrel]

That is such a beautiful and very meaningful gift you have stitching so very well. Definitely add their initials and the date to this heirloom gift.
