    Ok, here is Elle's center. I was going to embroider butterflies on the corners, but decided against it. I think it will take away from the fabric. But, then again, I might surprise everyone and do it anyway.
    I centered the bridge at the top and bottom.

    Elle.....I hope you like it!

    Wow Terri :shock: You really couldn't have found a more perfect fabric, is beautiful, Elle is gonna be so chuffed with your border :D

    I have a question......How the heck have you managed to have a rug/carpet WITHOUT lots of fluff and thread all over it?????????? :lol: :lol: :roll: :wink: :D

    I have been playing catch up with this thread......all I can say is WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

    All the centres are looking exceptionally good, fantastic work everyone :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Thanks Izy!

    LOL That carpet is in the middle (2d floor) living room where the computer is. Did you REALLY think I was going to put it on the carpet in my sewing room? lol Actually, I've been really good. I have a small basket next to my machine that I've been putting the threads in and only a few get on the carpet. Hubby is VERY proud of me! :)

    It'll be in the mail on Monday!
    Just have to sign the label and stick it in the envelope.
    I'm sure you'll do justice to it. If you want a bit of the fabric I used, let me know, I can send you some, I think I have 1/2 yard left.
