Cross stitchers automatically reach for needle and floss when they hear the word wedding. Am I right? If so, I’ve got some project suggestions for you for this wedding season.
If a true heirloom, keepsake design is what you have in mind, you might want to try your hand at Through a Mother’s Eyes or Through a Father’s Eyes. Both are based on paintings originally created by artist Paula Vaughn, and both are charted in full color.
If you’re looking for a basic wedding sampler that will be semi-quick to finish, take a look at United in God’s Love from the Leisure Arts Praying Hands series.
The 11 designs feature simple borders and such classic inspirational quotes as:
“And the two shall become one.”
“This is my beloved and this is my friend.”
“Love one another as I have loved you.”
“Behold, how good and pleasant it is to dwell together in unity.”
“Love one another with a pure heart.”
And including (as seen on the front cover) the lovely verses from 1 Cor. 13: “Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous…”
