Marriage Stitcheries

Recently my friend Jayme asked me to do some marriage sticheries - one for her and 3 for friends as Christmas presents.
The sticheries are 100% handmade - I stitch the writing, mom quilts it, and Dave makes the frames from old wood.

Angier - Est. 2009
They were married on a glacier in Alaska, so Jayme requested a mountain silhouette and cool colors

Doney - Est. 2009

Conkin - Est. 2005

Boyd - Est. 2005

Handwritten on the back of each piece - 100 years from now, it will be nice to be able to document where and when each piece was made.

If you would like us to make a marriage stitchery for you as well, just drop us a line at robbi@old37creative.com with your name, marriage year, and color preferences!!

Have a swell day!

Whale, hello!

We have had a very busy couple of weeks...hosting a Thanksgiving feast, Christmas shopping, sewing... Dave's birthday is on Sunday so tonight, at his request, we are going to the Varsity for dinner and then ice skating at Centennial Olympic Park...he has never eaten at the Varsity OR ice skated before, so it should be interesting!

I just wanted to post a few new things we have created.

We are finishing up some commissioned work tonight, and will have photos to post shortly.

Have a swell day :)
