Title: Wedding Box Finished !
Post by: BigPete on March 25, 2013, 09:54:38 am

Hi All , I have now finished the Wedding Box for my Daughter Alana who gets married on thurs 28th March ! .I had never heard of a wedding box up until she asked me to make one for her , so after a little research and with the help of some wonderful pattern makers ( Mahendra , Eieio , Don R , and Ron ) who all did a great job , i have now completed  it ! I wanted to put as much info about the happy couple as possible on the box and it kind of evolved ! It also has a lot of influence from Steve Goods Patterns . so thanks to everyone ! comments welcome ... hope you like ....Pete
