Very pretty!!!!

And almost by accident it's finished already...



Now to find a frame for it and get it sent off! I've also done the bells separately to put on a card to go along with it.

Kitty, that is gorgeous and a lovely gesture. It is so simple and effective. Good on you!

That turned out really lovely, and you stitched it up so quickly. I'm sure they will really appreciate the wonderful gesture

wow thats come along fast

Framed


And I've done a matching card (the little rings are from a set of card toppers I bought at John Lewis a while ago)


I haven't a clue what to write in the card, I've been trying to write out ideas but I've alternated between platitudes (along the lines of "so happy for you, shame about the circumstances" which just sounds far too flippant to me) and profanities because I'm so frustrated with myself, so I'm leaving that until tomorrow.

Both are very lovey and I'm sure will be well received. A thought as to what you may put in the card, something along the lines of--My good wishes to a lovely couple on their special day

I love the sampler and card, so quickly stitched well done

Gosh that was quick, and it looks lovely, just the thing

Super stitching KK, I'm sure your thought and time will be very much appreciated.

Almost by accident? It looks great and I think has a very classical sampler look.

Beautiful and the matching card is lovely as well

It looks perfect - very classic and the message is well chosen. Perhaps for the card, something simple along the lines of "May you enjoy all your days together."?

It's gorgeous - I love the border too.

This has turned out brilliant!!!!!!!!

So nice and the card should be very simple I think you don't want to stress the difficults really, just some thing about there love.

"Joyous wishes to the happy couple"

The sampler is simple and very elegant and the card is gorgeous. Love the rings on it too, just right. You have done really well.

I agree with Rose, just something really simple on the card will set it off just right.

I agree with rose this is a marriage....platitudes should be seperate give them the best wishes etc that you would give anyone that was just married don't think about the circumstances even thought they are bumping up the date of the marriage due to illness...they got married only because of love..correct?

Great finish and I love the card

I put something together in the end stressing how wonderful things are now, giving my condolences for the circumstances, then put all my contact details on the back. I drafted it out about 5 times first!

So classic and beautiful!!!!
