Sam and Kelly's Wedding

My son Sam proposed to the fabulous Kelly in a London park the summer of 2015 (and got some unsuspecting strangers to snap photos and video of the moment!)  Lucky for us we have these great photos.  My daughter Anna did some photo color manipulation, and so I had the image on the right as a starting point.  I sent that off to be printed on fabric at Spoonflower.




I added some pieced fabric inserts, and the pop of red (on the advice of my friend Kim) which then became a heart:




I started some all over embroidery, and after a couple of false starts decided this would be covered all over with sunflowers, because Kelly loves sunflowers!



I did this bit of detail on Kelly's bag and then outlined the heart :




My daughter convinced me to frame this, rather than create a soft art quilt, and I think she's right. 



Mazel Tov Sam and Kelly !  To many many many years of happiness for my darling son and his wonderful wife.



Peace.
