Jean, thank you for sharing pictures of your finished pillows. They turned out beautiful as I knew they would! I'm sure the bride and groom will love them!

Hi Lynda,
I hope so! My stitching of their names on the pillow-I didn't think was that good. I had written the date of the wedding on the pillow(if they wash the pillow the date might come off I don't know) I had told her that that was only part of the gift. I'm crocheting a afghan/blanket and I have some doilies. I gave some of the doilies to someone at church so she could put them on the roll-top desk she got. She asked if I wanted something for them. I told her she didn't have to give me anything for it but if it made her feel better she could give me something. And she said she would give me something.

Hi Jean, well, if you think the stitching of their names wasn't good, take it out and try again. Try, try again as the saying goes. Try writing the wedding date on the pillow with a permanent marker. That shouldn't come off when and if she washes it. I would tell her to wash it in cold water on the gentlest cycle her washer has and lay flat to dry. When I give a crocheted gift I always tell them how to take care of it when it comes to washing and drying it. When is the wedding? What is the color or colors of the afghan/blanket? xoxoxo Lynda

Jean, one more suggestion on putting their names on the pillow is, don't crochet it on, just run your yarn through the pillows to spell out their names. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion than mine that could help you out with that. Lynda

Hi Lynda,
The wedding was Sept. 20. On the day of the wedding, that afternoon before the wedding, I was hurrying to get their names stitched and I wrote the date of the wedding because I didn't have time to stitch it. I wanted her to have this on her wedding day because I had their names and date of the wedding on it. I had told her that it was part of the gift. I had told her before her wedding that I was working on something and didn't know if I would get it done for the wedding and she said that I could still give it to her. So, what I'm working on is the blanket. I'm crocheting it with a premier yarn.It's a soft yarn.I started with a yellow(lemon ice)
Then I did a blue(blueberry)Then a lighter blue(creme de menthe) and a little bit more of the blueberry, then I did a red(strawberry) and I did some of the dark purple(blackberry) and going to do a few more rows of the blackberry.
