I LOVE this Meari. It looks so elegant. Very nice stitching & finishing. The colors are so vibrant - goes to show that DMC floss can turn out just as nice as the specialty threads. ;D

Wow, Meari, another fantastic job stitching and finishing. We need to talk about homemade cording and tassels. I love the white stitching, looks like lace, so pretty. Congrats! :-)
