My Thoughts
With Canada Day just around the corner I was eager to get this lovely piece finished up and on display! Canadian Sampler is designed by the talented Erin Elizabeth Designs who is a fellow Canadian and to whom I am honoured to model stitch for!
I scooped up this little tray from the Canada Day collection at Michael’s for 1/2 price with this finish idea in mind. I laced the cross stitch piece before mounting it to the fabric covered board and adding the white rick rack for a little extra texture and interest! I love how it turned out, it will be a piece I keep out most of the year!
