Finished sampler~~ My Everything

Finally finished My Everything sampler by The Sampler Girl. DMC monochromatic in 355. Linen is unknown wool-like multi on natural color......what a description, right?  Well, this was a fun piece to stitch. I really like the stitching around it but when framed you can't see but just the top and bottom of it.






When framed in this frame I had in my stash for years, it almost ---almost fits. Even though it does cut off the letters in a couple of spots close, I believe I'm going to keep it framed in this one.
I've had this frame since 2003. I'm glad I can repurpose it with a sampler. It's Mr. Darcy-approved! :)

Till later,
Jennifer

    Why have things to perfection? The frame is too pretty for not using it.

  8. I did this same piece, "My Everything" for my husband, Bill for Valentine's Day. I loved stitching it up and I made a pillow out of it.

    This is my very first time visiting your blog and I love it here. Friendly, warm and newsy. Great job. I'm becoming a follower.

    I too have a blog. Would love to have you stop in and say, "Howdy". I'm over at

  9. This is really nice, I love the frame too. I want to stitch in in brick red on a dark cream colored linen. This inspires me to add yet another project to my list!
