French Noel Sampler finished!


Tra-la-la! I finished the French sampler last night. I must tell you this was one of the most pleasurable pieces to stitch in my whole stitching life. Why? Hard to describe. It's just that it was an easy work that was enjoyable, easy while extremely rewarding. Now that it is finished, I have a hard time deciding, should I frame it or just make a wall-hanging? I absolutely love that design. I will take a better picture tomorrow in daylight and after it's ironed - my furry kids made a plastic bag fall onto the iron and well, I have to try to rescue it - the plastic is firmy glued to the base! LOL That's the reason why I am showing it still wrinkled today. I couldn't wait to show it off! :)
I substituted Isa V's initial with my darling's (HK) but I left the first AB letters at the top. I know it doesn't make much sense but I'd have to rework the whole alphabet as the letters were of varying width etc. Seeing IV daily makes no sense to me so at least I changed that :)
