I completed this one for my younger brother and sister-in-law, who married almost 3 years ago. The couple are great friends to me and my hubbyman, and their relationship had grown from friendship into something much deeper, they'd been together around 8 years when they got married. So - I wanted something that would speak to those sentiments, and that would reflect both their marriage and their friendship. I also knew that I didn't want images with wedding dresses in, these always seem to be more 'bride-focused' and miss out the fact there's actually a husband in there somewhere.
So here is 'A Marriage Is..' by Janlynn.
I really enjoyed stitching on this one, and the recipients loved it. My sister-in-law does a little cross stitch herself, so she knew just how much work had gone into it.
That is a lovely sampler and I like the way the initials are in the heart in the sand.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, that's what drew me to the pattern too
DeleteA very nice gift for your brother and his bride. It is nice to give a gift that someone truly appreciates.
