More Information

Did you know that one of the very first Stitch People portraits ever given was a gift for a wedding? Cross-stitching, being a centuries-old pastime, lends itself well to creating heirlooms that can be passed down from generation to generation. What better piece to pass along than a piece celebrating the union of two people from which the generations will grow!

Intended as a companion to “Do-It-Yourself Stitch People,” the 78-page Stitch People “Weddings” book provides patterns and techniques for you to integrate into your Stitch People portraits that are specifically geared towards marriage proposals, engagement announcements, weddings, and anniversaries.
