As for the colour choice, I am reliably informed that it matches the bridesmaids dresses. I received a beatiful, if tiny, Pantone colour swatch all the way from New York if you please!! Very posh indeed! These will eventually become tiny cushions, silk dupion, hand embroidered in this colour matched silk thread with hand made labels showing the name of bride and groom along with the wedding date. I will of course show you when they are finished but as yet the labels are not ready so it will definitely be when I come back from my holidays. Two of the fifty will also be unique. They are for two special guests who must remain nameless but I have started those and may be able to show you some of that tomorrow.
In the meantime I am racking my brains trying to think of what I can make alongside these and then you won't have to look at the same thing every day for the next month!! Wish me luck....

Hello my dear, thanks for popping by to say hello, it's always lovely to hear from you.
Those favours are truly adorable! I don't envy you having so many to make but I'm sure that the guests and the happy couple will appreciate all the work.
I'm now wishing I knew how to do french knots without ending up with a huge tangle of thread.

lucky bride to have you as a cousin...
It's perfect for a marriage!!! The colours are so beautiful! Good luck to you and to the bride! What a work wait for you!!!
Wow, what amazing favors. Those are very lucky guests! I know repetitive work like that can be hard but the group shots at the end will be worth it!
They are beautiful but I think it would drive me mad making 50 the same!
It drove me crazy just assembling 50 favor boxes for my son's wedding and I didn't have to stitch anything! White with a touch of yellow are my planned colors for my bedroom when I get around to revamping it. I'll have to keep this in mind.
Lucky cousin!
Our boys are both getting married next year - I don't suppose there's any chance you would...No??? Oh well, I tried.
Seriously - these are lovely! I hope the bride and groom realize just how blessed they are to have you in the family.
Goodness... 50? They're beautiful. I'll be quite happy looking at these every day.
oh, lovely....I hope they will all be treasured
For the next month there will be no cleaning party, no trip to London, no lavish dinners, no piles of laundry and just a few hours of sleep. You need to WORK girl!!!!
Hope you still want to be an embroiderist after this month.
I have always loved gold and white together, very regal. Very sweet design you have created too. And 50!! I do hope you are being well paid for these little dandies, how special!
Gorgeous! These look very delicate and absolutely delightful. I hope the guests appreciate your efforts!
Good grief. They are gorgeous and I'm sure they'll be delighted but do you remember I told you once I nearly left a comment about you relishing the tedious? Well I think its time to say it. Only because I know you'll take it as a compliment.
Oh wow! Is all I say :)
Lucky bride and groom! Those are looking good - can't wait to see the finish product x 50!
what a task and what a cousin you are to take them on - and each one will be exquisite.
