I finished this up at the end of last week...only a few weeks late. This is "Thankful Notes" by Shepherd's Bush, stitched on 32-ct. lugana over-2 with one thread. I made a few substitutions and/or used DMC alternates, simply because I couldn't justify buying flosses when so little was used. I did buy the required JABCo button pack, though.
The frame was a consignment store find (the same place I found the Cricket Collection piece I rescued!). It needed a bit of love/repair, but it is solid wood, and I thought the corner decorations suited this piece nicely. I'm going to take it to my local frame shop and see if they can make it work with glass - the rabbet is rather deep, so hopefully it can accommodate glass and enough matting to keep the buttons from touching the glass.
Since finishing this, I've put in a few lengths of thread on my "Silent Sky" sampler, and started a little Santa piece I found in an old magazine. I hope you all are stitching busily, too!
