One of my many projects today was to frame this piece. I'm very happy with the way the frame looks with it. It's a dark charcoal grey, almost the exact color as the alphabet. The fabric has more gold in it than the photo shows. If you remember from a few posts ago, the linen was an off white color originally. Halfway through stitching it, I just wasn't "feeling" it, so I dyed it to give it more of a vintage look. I also changed it a bit from the way it was charted. It was supposed to have window panes and much lighter windows. I did one window, didn't like it, so in my version, it's night time and every one's asleep in the palace.

It turned out great! I love your frame choice, and the windows totally work.
It's so lovely, congratulations.
By the way, I feel very silly but I finally figured out that you have two blogs. I now have both blogs listed separately on my blogrolls, in my two categories of blogs. Geesh, I am rather dense. I don't know why I didn't get it before.
I feel like the light bulb finally came on. :) Take care.
I love it, it's gorgeous... and the frame is perfect.
Wonderful finish, stitching and framing. The frame is perfect. You gave the design your own personal touch. That is great.
What a lovely sampler - I am a big Colonial Williamsburg fan. Can you please tell me who had produced this pattern?
