Thank you...since I love to sew and embroider, I wanted the sentiment to reflect a part of me as well...as I wish them happiness on their new journey...

Lovely but I can't read your text with these old eyes - what did you say? The fluffy lace is just right.

The text reads: Ari & Heidi...Love is the golden thread that ties our hearts and souls together...June 1, 2014...I thought it was appropriate for me to make as I love to sew and embroider...I do hope they like it...

This is so beautiful!!! Is this lettering on your machine along with the other embroidery? Or, is it someone's design that is available? I know this will be something that I could use in the near future. Nieces and nephews are the marriageable age now and who knows when I will need this. LOL Thanks for sharing your marvelous work! I always enjoy the inspiration you Cuties give! --Sandra

Thank you so much...the frame is from a quilt block that I modified and I digitized the boullion roses...just because I love them...I digitized the text using two different fonts...it was tricky to make it legible in white and being so small...but I think it worked out well...

Really, really beautiful. It is amazing how white satin and lace can make something extraordinary. What a great job. That little 5 year old will steal the show.

Thank you for your kind words...I thought the heavy bridal satin worked really well...no puckers at all!
by maisiebo 06 Mar 2014
Not like my embroidery on Satin it nearly always puckers may be I should try using a heavier satin
by dragonflyer 06 Mar 2014
Try using an iron on backing for the satin...something like the Pellon Easy Knit fusible...it is also used a lot for t-shirts for a backing...I use it anytime I need to insure no puckers...it adds a bit of bulk, but not really that much...I have even used it in quilt squares that have lots of embroidery on them to keep the cotton from puckering...

Probally too big for my 5x7 but sure is nice.
by dragonflyer 06 Mar 2014
The actual design is 6x6...but something similar could be done as a 5x5 design...

Thanks....even if they do not have a ring bearer in the ceremony, you can leave the ribbon ties off and it will just commemorate their wedding day...
