Friday Finish: How Great the Blessing
I can hear some of you thinking, “Didn’t she post about finishing that sampler a couple of months ago?”
Well, yes. I did.
But it wasn’t framed then.
Here you go.
Again, this is:
Design: How Great the Blessing (with a few minor changes)
Designer: Catherine Theron
Ground fabric: 36ct linen
Threads: silks, primarily from Hand-Dyed Fibers/Vikki Clayton
Stitches used: cross, smyrna, queen, oblong cross, chain, satin, slanted gobelin, tent, four-sided, leaf, lazy daisy, upright cross, long-arm cross, and cross over one. There may be one or two others, but that’s what I see right now. :-)
Stitching timeframe: Started in a class April 2009, finished in February 2010.
The simple frame sets off the design. Nothing more was needed. Thanks to my LNS owner for great framing consultation, as usual!

It really looks lovely. Once again proving that consultations with experts pays off.
I agree with you on the frame - nothing is needed - the sampler is beautiful!
It's gorgeous and I love the frame you chose. Congrats!
Just beautiful!!
It looks lovely :-)
Edy - I know my weaknesses. Choosing framing is one of them. I rely on my framer/LNS owner, and also ask for opinions of any other stitchers who happen to be around.
Deb, Katrina, Susan, Megan - Thank you for the compliments. I really enjoyed this project.
It's gorgeous, congratulations
