Anniversary Young new project

My parents will have been married 50 years this coming summer and I've been thinking about working on a project for them. Even though their anniversary isn't until September we are having a family party in June to celebrate. Now I'm under the gun to get something done.

This is the project I decided to do. I wanted to do them both on one piece with a center section with their names and dates of marriage but that's not going to happen. I've started the young one and I think I might make them as pillows so they can put them on their bed. I'm going to substitute their dates and names for the sayings in the designs.



Here's my progress so far:

Prayers FINISHED

My first finish of the year! Now I've got to wash it and get it framed. Hopefully I can frame it myself decently enough. I don't have the money to get it professionally framed.

Prayers WIP

I'm working on this next project as a birthday present for my sister-in-law. I hope she likes it. I got the pattern from one of my Cross Stitch A Day Calendars but I don't remember which year (I'm pretty sure it's 2011). I don't have a picture of what the final project is suppose to look like so you'll just have to wait. The saying is "Prays go up Blessing come down". I'm doing it on a piece of colorfully dyed 14ct fabric from silkweavers.com. I got it in one of their solo sales so it doesn't have a name. I'm doing it 2x1 in full stitches. I will frame it myself when I'm done. Wish me luck.

Here is my progress:

Stained Glass Window FINISHED

I've finished my Stained Glass Window project and yes, I'm going to be giving it away. I've washed it but haven't ironed it yet. Once I get it in the frame I'll post a picture of that too.
