Re: Flower Power Door Hanging

Your colors are bold and beautiful. I can't tell, if it is crochet or knitted? Do you mean in India, door hangings are "good luck", bring in "good energy", signs of welcome?

That is just adorable. I am a beginner also, so how did you accomplish the lettering? Or do you have an embrodiery machine? thanks

Re: Made It: My 19th-Century-Inspired Wedding Gown

That is absolutely gorgeous, and exquisite. You should be so proud and to have something to remember forever. You should be so proud of yourself. I too am curious where did you find that great poster.
