When my sister announced that they were finally going to get married I knew that I needed to stitch something to commemorate the occasion. Though what? was the question. I couldn't see her fellow appreciating something cute or too romantic. She has always felt a strong connection to Glasgow so I decided on a Rennie MacIntosh inspired design.
Getting a new kit through the post is always a pleasure and I can rarely resist breaking it open and getting started. In this case it was fortunate as we had only been given about 6 weeks warning of the wedding.
Having only a few weeks to get it finished I cracked on with it at a good rate of knots.

I think I might have had one night off over the fortnight I worked on this, but other than that it was a good two - three hours a night. The nature of the design meant that it grew quickly and was very easy to see progress.

I have recently started to do my own framing too and as speed was of the essence on this one was able to have the frame ordered and prepared before I had stitching finished. Much more efficent that going into town and getting it done professionally - and cheaper too

I hope they like it. It was certainly a pleasure to do, and my sister knows me well enough that she must have expected something of this sort - the only question would be what sort of design I would choose.
