    Hi
    I'm thinking of using the little NOEL tile in the last magazine to create a card / gift for a 60th Wedding Anniversary. I'm think of using a cream coloured fabric for it, but don't really know what colour thread would look for a 60th. Any ideas?

    Could you use metallic thread for the stitching? Diamonds don't have that much colour, but glisten, so I think I'd use a metallic and see how that looks. I think thats what I did for my parents diamond wedding, and it looked quite good. Good luck.

    Could you attach some crystal beads as faux diamonds?

    Hi Helen,

    I've jsut finished a diamond wedding sampler and I used a metallic silver as a highlight. Looked lovely. (Though I say so myself)
