As my first task as a fiancée I needed to choose the person who would be tasked with helping to plan the wedding, my Maid of Honour! My friend and I had always talked about being Maid of Honour for each other, however I wanted to make it a little more official, so I decided to give her one of my stitched pictures as something to remember it by.
I embroidered the message in the colours that I am thinking of having for my colour scheme in dusky pink, navy, and sage green.
I also wanted to add in some decorative elements to the picture for this one, so I added in some leafy twigs with little pink blossoms in a circle to frame my words.
I think I need to work on the spacing of my words a little more, as some are larger than others and a little closer together than others, however I liked the little flicks at the start and also the way the letters joined together. I think this says more about my calligraphy than my sewing however, so I think I will need to practice the formation of my words to make my pictures better.
My finished piece was framed in a white frame and I wrapped it with some silver and white butchers string, brown paper and hand-stamped tag to complete the present. I was really pleased with the final piece and luckily my friend was too as she said yes!
Let the planning commence!
