A Wedding Sampler Finish


A sweet friend asked me to stitch this for her son and his beautiful wife who are celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary.  According to her, they had a fairy tale wedding and this just cries "fairytale".  This is a Sisters and Best Friend design but if you don't like to work with beads, then this design is not for you.  I just wasn't sure when I started stitching this but after I started adding the beads it all came together.  There are crystal, gold, pearl beads and several different flower beads with a few leaf beads.  I can't wait to see how she decides to frame this.
This morning I received the 3rd installment from Carol for her SAL so that's what I'll be working on tonite. Then I want to stitch some Halloween ornies that have caught my attention.  I usually don't do too many halloween designs but the more I see them this year, the more I want to do them.  I even think one might work it's way into my October giveaway.
Blessings as always,
Barbara

WOW..this came out beautiful Barbara. I love anything with a lot of glitz and shine. I think all of the time spent beading definitely paid off in this design.

Gorgeous!
