Peace and Plenty is a Christmas Sampler included in the book Sisters by Blackbird Designs. It was published in 2013 and is now Out of Print. It could easily be added as the 5th sampler in the Christmas Sampler series.
I chose a piece of 16ct antique white aida I had in my stash and used some of the called for floss and subs for the ones I did not have.

I made a mistake on the bottom border but decided to leave it. Now to decide on a frame and add it to my Christmas wall.
November 2024 – I decided to order a frame through Craig Frames. I had used their frames in the past by ordering custom frames through Amazon. This time I ordered directly through their website which seemed to offer a wider selection. They do not offer fractional sizes but that was OK for what I needed. The shipping was free and the frame came just as well packaged as those from pictureframes.com which has been my go to store for years.
And a closeup of the frame.
Peace and Plenty is gorgeous, Pat. I look forward to seeing how you frame it.
