wedding gift
Angel wrote:
Could some suggest a few patterns for a wedding gift, please? The colors for my friend's wedding are black and white. And a possible reading of I Corinthians. 13. I did a stamped kit I picked up at AC Moore for my "adopted son"'s wedding. I didn't know what their colors were; I did what the kit had. It came out well, and I turned it into a pillow. -georg |

Seems to me something done in blackwork would be appropriate! Maybe a blackwork border surrounding the verse? With a few silver metallic threads in it for added effect?

Thank you for you suggestions. And please keep suggesting. I tried a
bucilla pattern ( i love it but it's beyond me at the moment). Angela |

Angela,
How about just backstitching a portion of the passage and their names and wedding date underneath with a simple blackwork border around it? You can find some blackwork borders at http://www.blackworkarchives.com/index.html. You can print out graph paper at http://id.mind.net/~zona/mmts/graphP...aphPaper1.html. I have made some untraditional wedding samplers before and the best received ones were the ones most reflective of the couple's wedding. HTH!

I was going to suggest this one, too, Barbara. I did it for my DS and DBIL. I
believe it's included in their new wedding book (I forget the title, but it's basically a "Best Of".) The one drawback is that there would be no way to to work in the black and white part... Paula H I am doing a Stoney Creek sampler for my husband and I (I Corin. 13 was a "theme verse" for us, on our bulletin covers and everything). It definitely does not, however, fit the black and white theme. But the passage is the whole center of the sampler. Barbara H. J. |
