I now have a second sampler wall!





This is the Blackbird Designs mystery-that's-not....

and a close-up of the frame. Not sure if it's coming through in the photo, but it has a wonderful red under the black.

My shortened/condensed version of the American Quaker Band Sampler...

aaaaand a close-up of the frame....

Not on the second sampler wall, but off by itself is La De Da's "Our Daily Bread" (notice the DATE! I need to get things framed more often..no?)

and the frame...

As you can probably tell...I have champagne taste in moldings.....thus it took the beer budget longer to pay for them this time around!
But now, after an afternoon of hanging....this is now what you see when you enter the front door.

Aaaah...feels like home!

Beautiful! Your sampler walls look fabulous. I love the pricey frames too... and it's worth framing things up right, even if it takes a while to pay off the bill.
