My Thoughts
I purchased the “Let Love Reign” booklet from Teresa Kogut because I was (and still am) obsessed with that feature sampler! What I didn’t realize at the time was that “Love Your Family” was also included in the booklet. I knew instantly that I needed to stitch it. The time in my life, and what we were going through as a family, this was the exact piece my heart needed to stitch!
This was my first attempt at ordering a custom frame and then framing it myself! Silly me, choosing a piece with so many straight edges around the outside, it took some tinkering to get it “close enough” to straight! I followed Lori Holt’s video tutorial and am quite happy with how it turned out and I will definitely be doing it again!
