I just designed a Sampler of “my own” and it framed. Just thought I’d include a photo for you to see. I have been smitten by the poem and melody of IN THE BLEAK MID-WINTER. (1872). by Christina Rosetti. I had two scraps of linen that I stitched together (one of the border lines covered that stitching in the center of the sampler). Then I realized I did not have enough linen to wrap around the foam board, so I fringed the edges instead. Not too bad of a result for not planning ahead!!!😉
