I want to begin this post by sharing the photograph I received of the bride's bouquet. My niece told me that the bouquet will look exactly like this one. It's silks, so I trusted her assessment. Isn't it gorgeous? My task was to try to create a finished embroidery equal to this bouquet. As you know, that bit hanging from the bottom was a bit vexing, but I think MA and I came up with the solution.
I took this photograph in daylight once it was complete and framed. I stretched into a new hoop and then secured the back, covering it with a beautiful blue felt and the frame backer. This is a closeup of all my stitches.
This is the photograph I'll be using as one of the images for a listing in my etsy shop for future embroideries. It also shows you just how perfect the frame is for the monogram.
I sure hope my nephew and his bride love the finished piece. I'll get photos of the newlyweds later today to share next week. Time to go. I'm off to a wedding!
It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm positive they will love it.

Donna, where do you get your frames? It’s beautiful, as are your stitches.
ReplyDeleteIf you search "round hoop frames" on Etsy, you'll find many great suppliers. Mine are probably the most expensive, though. I purchase them through a company called ACMS (also on Etsy).

Just beautiful!! Everytime she looks at it, she will be reminded of her special day and beautiful wedding bouquet! What a wonderful gift! Have a lovely day of celebrating the new husband and wife!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteI pretty sure you're right, dear. Thanks so much. The wedding was perfect. My eyes started leaking as soon as I saw him walking his mom down the aisle. I hadn't thought to bring a hankie, so I had to borrow Handsome's, and I was dabbing my eyes until we sat down to eat our meal! It's was the best day.

ReplyDeleteThank you, dear MA. I know I'll see it hanging up next time I go to their home. It was a perfect day for a wedding, too.
