Wedding Sampler…more progress

 Well, I’ve made a little more progress on my wedding sampler—enough that I have to roll my scroll frame!

I had to rip out my name from the previous photo, ‘cause I somehow was off-center with it.  If you’ve ever had to frog over 1 stitching on 32ct., you can understand how painful that was.  I even managed to cut one of the fabric threads as I was ripping out stitches.  I fixed it, and unless I use a magnifying glass, I can’t see it.  For anyone who wants to try to spot it, it’s in the middle of the “a” in “Marie”.

As you can tell, I could have stitched a little more before rolling the scroll frame, but on the columns I stopped where I will repeat the stitching to extend the pattern downwards.

Happy Stitching!

Wedding Sampler progress

 I’ve been making good progress on the TW Wedding Sampler that I’m stitching for mine & hubby’s anniversary.  It will be 30 years in August which is the pearl anniversary.  I think it’s appropriate that this has a bunch if cream colored beads on it.  Based on how far along I am, I should be able to finish it, including framing, before our anniversary.  Ideally, I want to enter it in our county fair in early August and have that be the first time he sees it.  He takes great pride in all my craft endeavors and loves to see the ribbons I earn.  Here’s the photo of my progress:

I did have to modify it from the original as both of our names were too long to fit without putting the surnames on a second line.  That means I have to extend all the borders.  Thankfully, I was able to spot that there is a repeat in the greenery/ribbon border so it’s not as difficult as I expected.

Happy Stitching!
