Finally, pics!!

Finally, after over a year, I've got good pics of Heather's wedding dress!! I knit the lace for this and did the design to show our heritage. The side border of the train is Celtic knots (Irish great- grandfathers) and the central motif is a Cherokee Star (Cherokee great-grandmoms). I did a 4foot by 8 foot sheet of basic fill lace and my BFF, Connie, did a cut and sew to do the sleeves and bodice. Connie also did the sewing for the satin underdress. She's awsome!! This was a big challenge and I loved every minute. That being said, if I ever do it again it will be in a size 2, not a 2X!!! LOL!!

And the Winner Is!!

I'm sorry this has taken so long. JustBec from Normal, IL is the proud winner of the shawl!! She said she's waiting for a special occasion.... but she might just have to wear it to work!! I'm so glad that she likes it, as you can see!! Congratulations Becky!!!!
