Hello there!
So, in the middle of my WIP, something came up:
My dear niece is getting married in five weeks... and I really want do stitch something for her and her fiance.
I received the pattern for this:



I think it's from a kit by Janlynn, a little modified.
I'm going to stitch it in blue.
Already started, actually - but still to early to send pictures...
Wish me luck!

It is a lovely design and will be a beautiful gift. Your niece is very lucky.

What an absolutely beautiful design and I know it will look fabulous in blues. I can't wait to see your first progress pictures!!

This is beautiful! Blue is perfect for it.

Beautiful design! I can't wait to see the shade of blue you're using.

Lovely design!

... erm... can you really get it finished and framed in 5 weeks!

Thank you!
I really don't know how long it will take... hopefully not very long. As for the frame, my favorite shop does it quickly. As for the stitching... we shall see.

(But even if I'm a little late - it's still OK.)

lovely design!!!

Wow.. for just one color used it has so much detail Good luck reaching your deadline!
Faith

this is lovely one colour looks great

Nice design and wording around around it.Being one colour you might just fly through it.

A lovely design and sure you will soon have this done

so sweet!

Thank you all!
Here's my update for today:



Today was a little special, however - I had lots of stitching time... we'll see how it goes on.
Anyway, I'm out of the blue thread - have to buy some more, I hope tomorrow (in the meantime, the poppy field is always there...)

Great progress. Once you get the rest of the thread this is going to move quickly. But fast or not, it is really pretty.

Excellent progress! Beautiful blue.

Great start.

Best of luck with some quick stitching! I made this for a friend of mine for her wedding, although the pattern was a little different.

I think the blue is a great idea! Hang in there with the star and square borders - the filligree will go more quickly.

I like it in blue much better!!!!!!!

Katie - it's the same pattern, although a little modified.
I'm doing only the dark blue, so the inner triangles will be more like paper cutouts.
Also, in the middle of the star I'm just going to put the names of the couple and the marriage date, so it will be a little lighter, airier, than the original.
