Going To The Chapel

I showed the first part of the cross stitch wedding sampler I'm working on in my Projects On The Go post. Back then I had completed the bride and groom, and now they've got somewhere to get married as I've almost completed the next section.


There's wording to add yet and still the grass to add in both sections, and I also need to stitch the date but I'm holding off on that for now.


The sampler is for my niece, she's supposed to be getting married in September and everything's already booked for then but who knows if it will go ahead or not. Being in lockdown at the moment, it's hard to imagine that large gatherings will be allowed by September, but we'll see.


I'm quite new to cross stitch but I'm really enjoying working on this sampler. It's a joy to see the picture emerge bit by bit.

  3. It's gorgeous, Jo :) Your niece will love it! I love the little doves above the church. I don't watch the news and I ask John not to tell me anything from the news unless it's good news. Stay safe and take care. Jane x

  4. It's delightful Jo. What a wonderful gift for your niece. It must be hard for her not knowing if she can go ahead or not with her wedding, it is such an important day in your life isn't it? I do hope that things become clearer for her soon.

  11. It looks great Jo and i'm sure they will love it. It's hard to imagine any social gatherings at the moment, but who knows September is a way off yet so fingers crossed everything will go ahead for them.

  14. I can see why you're enjoying it, it's quite cute. What a wonderful gift it will make. I have one I made for Hubby and Me, though it's stamped not counted x stitching. I started with stitched and then did counted which I liked better. I've made several for people as gifts and they're always so well received. I wish them the best of luck. Hope the wedding is able to proceed, but like you am doubtful large groups will be a thing to do come September. Stay well.

  15. It's very pretty and incredibly neat! I hope you all get to get together in September, it would be such a shame to have to postpone, it must be heartbreaking for those who have had to do so.
