I've finished all the green, and I'm working on the white now- and I can tell you I'm eternally grateful I picked this oatmeal fabric instead of the normal bleach-white Aida.

I'd probably be going right about now if I had bleach-white fabric while stitching white...

beautiful updates!!

Very pretty!

What excellent foresight!

I'm still making angry faces at it, the white is discernible, but it's still a little hard to see.

Okay, been little over a month now, and I finally picked it up again once I realized I didn't exactly have oodles of time to finish it (eeek, less than a month!)

Here's the rest of the white done!

Ohh I love the different pinks! Is that variegated thread?

Nope, just 3 different pinks to make the ribbon.

Very pretty!!!!!!

Okay, so before I start backstitching, here's the whole piece sans cheesy words I'll be replacing with "Forever and Always." (Two Hearts One Love sounds absolutely ridiculous!)

very pretty. I think your choice of words is better also.

Very nice!!!!!!!

Very pretty Gabrielle!

Lovely stitching! And good idea to change the words. It sounds like the original is a bad translation of a common French saying, which translates to "Two souls, one love". I put the French version on a piece for my DH's cousin and they liked it.

Very pretty! I agree with your choice in changing the words.

That's lovely! I agree about changing the words too.

Thank you! And if someone has a better idea than "Forever and Always", I'll gladly consider that too! It was the only thing I could really come up with.

Sorry for double, but I feel like I just have to say, I have an uncanny knack (unfortunately) for picking patterns with more back-stitching than I care to do.

Should be nice to do a full pattern with no back-stitch @.@

It's Done @.@

Now I just need to frame it. I picked up some "Fray Check" from JoAnne's for when I get around to framing it and have to cut it down.
