I finally got around to taking some pictures of my Frances Eden, framed by Rensel Studios in Utah. I love the moulding Jill chose!
Because of the angle it's hanging, it appears crooked, but trust me – it's not!
Remember, this is the sampler passed on to me by Kim. She wasn't fond of the fabric (Glenshee) and fibers (DMC) she chose, and decided to one day start over.
I'm so happy with it! It's hanging over my bed next to Paradise Lost, as my goal is to fill my bedroom with Adam and Eve samplers.
Kim, I noticed your SDW sampler is progressing nicely. But if you ask me, it doesn't look like the type of fabric and fibers you would like, so… just sayin'. 😉

Oh my gosh. This is simply stunning. Jill Rensel does the best framing. I’m SO jealous because living in Australia I don’t think I can get something framed by her.

Wowie! Gorgeous work, Paulette! Your stitching is always so beautiful. Don’t you love that moulding! I would love to have a conversation with your framer, being in the same profession. I have annointed her the “goddess” of framers! She has wonderful taste, and always chooses the perfect framing.

B-E-A-Utiful!! I love it! Great pics, too. Love the idea of filling your bedroom with A&E samplers! That means you need to start designing more of them, too. Just saying…
Abi
AMAZING! The design is amazing. The stitching is amazing. The frame is amazing. *drool*
