Monogrammed

Is this becoming a tradition? For my wedding I got couple pillows and that is what I offer newlyweds ever since.
This was the tester, but since I went with unbleached linen instead of the white one, I felt like linen mouliné was better than cotton, but surprise surprise, DMC discontinued their line of linen mouliné and I had to do with the leftovers in the shop.

Actually, linen thread is difficult to work with. It's delicate, uneven and brittle, so trust me, you wont miss it.


The heart is done in "french knots", kind of metaphoric =)


I also did a little bit of thread doodling on the bride's dress, so I hope I'll have some photos to show soon.

Monogrammed pillows

Our friends got married over this weekend. This was our gift to them. And I'm not sure they already found them, because we hid it in their room =)





The groom's tie and the bride's bouquet:

Some other guests had an idea similar to ours, so here's a detail of the bedspread they made, with pictures of friends and the newlywed's sailing boat:

The joke is on the bride, for whom it was a first time experience sailing on a boat like this =)
