Pearl Anniversary

My friend's parents have been together for 30 years! And that means its there Pearl Anniversary!
I decided to buy a pearl frame and make an embroidery sample for them as a present. Here's How I got on:

Finished piece in frame.

Close up

Close up of embriodery

Close up of embroidery and embellishment

Close up of frame and edging.

I used different embroidery stitches such as cross stitch, running stitch, back stitch, slip stitch, heringbow stitch. The fabric is linen and I used pearl buttons, beads and silver trinkets to embellish the peice.
Heres a few pictures of the sample in progress:

I made the & way too big!

Writing almost finished!

All done! Just before frame was added!
