Historical Fashions Couple 10

Couple #10 is finally complete!!! I have to admit they turned out lovely. I look at these clothes and think WOW...people actually wore things like this. They actually had to hand stitch all their clothes...can you imagine sitting and hand sewing the ruffles, puffy sleeves, gathers and they buttons..OH the buttons!!! The happy news is that I only have 2 more couples to go! However, they are going to have to be put on hold because I have a wedding sampler to make and then I have 2 baby blankets to stitch!!! I thought about making 2 different designs but since both ladies do not know what they are having, I found the cutest Animal Alphabet in the October Cross stitch Collection magazine. It has frogs, tigers, bears, gators etc ...so they both getting the same blanket!!!!

Oh my goodness. This is the first time I have seen your historical couples all together. What amazing work. You must have 100,000 hours into that. What are you going to do with it? Will it be framed?

They all look amazing! I love how the women's dresses are all so poofy. Might be nice to wear for a night.
