A Colonial Christmas Sampler

This is a stitchery I've finished during the holidays. 
It is called A Colonial Christmas Sampler ...


and was a First Friday Freebie ...


from Kaaren at The Painted Quilt.


Still deciding whether to frame it ...


or make it into a mini-quilt.

    It is gorgeous! You did a very nice job - I'm sure whether you frame it or make a mini quilt, either will set off your handwork

    Your needlework is excellent and I love the design... don't know what to suggest as far as framing or mini quilt... tho I think I'm leaning mini quilt and leaving it out year 'round!

    Oh, that's really cute! How large is it? It's hard to tell from these pictures.

    Happy quilting,

    Gorgeous work, Christine! But I'm not surprised because all your work is beautiful. I love how you stitched yours in all the colors rather than just the redwork as I did mine.

    Whichever way you choose to go...frame or quilt...it will be wonderful. I framed mine and I have it hanging in my studio year round.
