I have finished my sampler. I’m going to the framer today at lunch time. I’m a little scared about how much it will cost but it has to be done properly for something like this
To say I am happy would be an understatement!
I didn’t get a chance to add pics yesterday as OH dragged me off food shopping, as he won’t go on his own (probably wished he had, as I was on a serious munchy mission)
I can stitch other things now!!! yippee
Update: Here are the piccies! The ribbon work was easier than I thought it would be and really makes this sampler special.
There are more photos and more info on this design in 2007 Finishes
Well I was right to be scared of how much the framer will cost but I am happy with the work of the framer I have chosen, we spent ages choosing mounts and frames. Should be ready in 1 to 2 weeks (depends on how long the frame takes to be ordered)

Ish, that really is gorgeous – well done! I love all the stitched and techniques you’ve used, particularly the ribbon embroidery. I’ll have to have a go at something like that myself!

Wow it looks stunning Ish. I have a few charts in my to do pile with ribbon work and there is even a little of it on Heirloom Christmas so I shall know where to come if I find I need some advice. Congratulations you have every right to feel really proud of this finish.

Oh, my goodness. That is GORGEOUS. I especially love your ribbon work, but the “pearls” around the edge are wonderful, too.
