Wedding Prayer

Wedding Prayer has now been (happily) received so here are the pictures.

Here it is hot off the press:



And finished and ready for posting:



I didn't end up washing it as I put the interfacing on and then decided that washing it would take out some of the stiffness and cause more wrinkles to iron out. What I should have done was used the steam iron when I ironed it before putting the interfacing on, instead I just used a dry iron. Oh well, live and learn.

I also had to put two layers of white on the back as I'd used bright green thread to edge the fabric and you could see it through one layer. Oops.

Lovely finish. The green edging comment made me laugh - I do things like that all the time... live and learn, eh?

Help! I finished the Wedding Prayer a few years ago and want to do it again, but I must have cut the DMC color chart to take to the store to buy more thread! Could someone provide the thread colors needed? Thank you

Hi - unfortunately I no longer have the pattern, so I'm unable to help you with the materials. Have you tried contacted Joan Elliott directly? She may be able to help you.
