Talk about ambitious...

I found out that my cousin's wife's sister is making a cross-stitch wedding chuppa (canopy) used in Jewish weddings for her daughter who is to be married in Nov. You can see what I'm talking about here: chuppas She hopes that it will be used by her other 2 daughters eventually as well. She is designing it herself. I don't know what the design is like, but I do know she is at the 'gridding' stage now. This sounds like quite an ambitious project. She made a beautiful self-designed sampler for her parents 35th anniversary that had motifs with dates stitched that represented all the key events and milestones of their married life. It was gorgeous so I know that she knows what she is doing. But Nov. can come around pretty quickly! I'll be very interested in seeing this piece.
