Hello everyone

It's my best friend's wedding in the summer and I am chief bridesmaid! I wanted to get my friend something special, but her and her husband to be have lived together for a while and so have everything they need...and more, so I decided to make her something lovely to commemorate her day and show her how much she means to me!

She's in her 30s so I didn't want to get her a cutesy forever friends one or similar, but she is religious and it means a lot that she is getting married at chruch so I thought thia design was perfect.

Hope you agree.

Here's what I have done so far!

Lovely choice of design - your friend will love it.

I agree, the design is wonderful!

The design is lovely

Very pretty design, I am sure your friend will love it!!!

It's a lovely design. When does you friend get married?

July! Hopefully plenty of time..although I have another similar project for a wedding anniversary for the same time lol.

I'd better get stitching!

That's a terrific design and what a lovely though to make her and her new husband a great gift!

That's a lovely thought and I'm sure she'll love it. Great start

This is beautiful, your friend will love it. A great choice - looking forward to more progress photos.

what a perfect present!

I adore this sampler, but most of all I like the idea of gifting one's friend with such a unique, handmade, personalised and time-consuming present, so I hope she'll appreciate it immensely.
This reminds me, unluckily, of a similar project i had started for my friends, but her marriage came and the project was still unfinished, and it is up to now! I reckon, though, that that job was too ambitious for my then abilities, and if I could go back I would have chosen something more simple.
Anyway, you have plenty of time to stitch this, so you may want to set some deadlines in order to have the project finished one month before the big event.

Good luck with your stitching, I'll be watching you!

Lovely wedding design.

Lovely design and a good start

Great choice of design, and the thought that has gone into choosing just the right sampler for her will make the finished piece even more special!

That design made me tear up a bit.. *snfl* I'm sure your friend will love it!
Faith

That is a very pretty design and will be well appreciated by your friend I am sure.

Thank you for your positive comments everyone! I am going dress shopping with her in a couple of weeks and it is going to be hard to keep quiet hee hee!

I will post a new photo soon...making the most of my week off from uni!

What a pretty design. It will make a very special gift
