Fljotsdale - it's actually White fabric! lol I think just the lighting in my room has made it look a different colour.

I do have some light pink thread though, would you all recommend using that to give it a little more colour? Or stick with the design?

Oops! Anyway, personalising the roses works for me! Backstitching will make all the difference! Looking great!

Really, though, what is with the eyes?

Are you sure you are looking at the eyes? The eyes are the two little dots just above the blue nose. The boy teddy has the exact same thing. I suspect you may be seeing the patch as a nose, and the stitched effect on each side as eyes! If so, I can see exactly what you mean!

lovely!!!

I haven't managed to get as much of the backstitching done as I would have liked, but it is coming along now

Tonight's update:



I will be glad once the backstitching is done!!! lol

very nice and great back stitching

The backstitching really brings out the design. You are doing a great job at it too.

I love how very cute they are!!!!!!!

Very good. I like how the roses turned out too. Good choice.

They are looking even better now with the backstitching. It really brings out the design

Awwww this is looking so cute!!!!

This looks fantastic!! They will love it. Your backstitch looks excellent!

It looks wonderful

They are just so cute.

Thanks everyone I won't get to stitch this much - if at all! - for the next few days as I have a lot going on with work/college/studying! But hopefully by the start of next week I will have finished the bride, and some of the groom's backstitching

It is beautiful! And I wish I could stitch up a piece as fast as you lol

beautiful!

What a wonderful and beautiful gift!! Your stitching is beautiful and changing the colour of the roses has made it even more special!! Wonderful!!

A beautiful update, it looks lovely

Spent lastnight and today working hard to get this finished, and it's done!!! I'm so happy with how it's turned out and look forward to framing it and seeing their faces when they receive it

Here's the final update pic:



And I even started on my next project today, so will start a new thread for that

That is precious and a beautiful gift.
