Mr. and Mrs. Split Ampersand wedding announcement on burlap and framed for my son and future daughter in-law. (Last name hidden for privacy.) I asked them about it before I did it because I wanted to make sure they would like it. (I personally prefer a more heirloom look.) I used the Newspaper font in my Master Works II software to do their names and date. This design comes in several sizes. I used the 5x7 and with the words added at the bottom it fit perfect in an 8 x 10 frame.

I used a tightly woven burlap. At least as tight as I could find. It was called Springs Creative Burlap from Walmart. I went back for more and they were out of the natural color so the runners will be a little less tightly woven. But the point is that the embroidery was done on the tighter weave and even with that weave the stitches don't catch evenly giving it a rough look. It's ok for this project because the whole look is "rustic". I would not try to use a detailed design with small intricate parts on burlap. I'm working on the MR & MRS pennant banner now. Pictures later.
