I said I had four projects I wanted to start and/or finish. Wrong. There are five. This is the only one with a deadline though. July. My brother is getting married, and I'm so pleased. I love his future wife. I'm making them a wedding sampler. Typically, I steer away from making gifts like this. Is this something they really want hanging in their home? Is it their style? Fit in with their decor? I hate making gift receivers feel obligated to display something. Part of why I chose quilting to focus on. A quilt can be folded up and tossed in the closet if you don't like it. That being said, I do give these gifts.
She wears a claddagh ring; he has a shamrock tattoo. I think it works. Just got the last thread and beads in today, so I'm excited to start the finishing touches tonight.
This pattern is Shamrock Sampler from
