Union of Hearts Wedding Sampler - [Done]

Post by CuriousKitty »

So my cousin is getting married in July and I found a small but cute Wedding Sampler that I can stitch up before then.

(trust me when I say my finished product will have a much better picture than that, glass photography isn't the greatest in the world).

So far I've done all of #3766, it's kind of a muted baby blue and the baby pink border. I accidentally bought 18 count fabric instead of 14c, so it's going to be 5.5" wide and 4" tall instead of 7" wide and 5" tall. Little on the small side, but framed right, it won't really be noticed. The fabric is 'oatmeal' and it's 2 threads for each stitch.

What a beautiful wedding sampler!! Having a smaller count fabric may just work out better yet when you do frame it--especially if you want to mat it too!! Great start on it!! :applesauce:

Lovely design and stitching!! :applesauce: You could even add another border outside the pink one if you wanted to make sure it would look well in a 5x7 mat.

Thanks! I thought the 'oatmeal' would be nicer than just the stark white. While I was outside taking the picture, little 4 year old boy ran up and instantly (and I mean instantly) picked up on the fact the little blue dots were flowers. I was actually pretty impressed at his spacial reconstruction.

He was so cute @.@ I'm working on the next shade of blue now. 8)
