   What you see in the center is an "F", their initial, and that is embroidered by me by hand with floche thread. In the corners are lace appliques that I cut and repositioned from running yardage. It was a four inch wide Venice, I think, lace. Those are sewn down by machine with fine machine embroidery thread and the stitches truly disappear. This is all done on linen that has been in my stash for probably 15 years or more. In the corners are streamers and loops with a tiny satin rosette covering their stitches. Glad you liked it. solo

   Thank you, all of you for the kind remarks. I will pass on your kind regards to the happy couple. The wedding was yesterday and we just got back from Maine today. It really was lovely and the children were just precious. I was able to get lots of nice pics. Great to be back,
