A surprise from the mailman and another piece framed


The mailman kindly brought me this amazing Easter postcard from Finland. Taija whom I met through the Crazy Exchange sent it to me. Isn't it great!!! I just love the colours and the rosy cheeks of the ladies - and their mittens. It must be still cold at Easter time in Finland - we are having warm and golden Autumn days here :-)
Also the second piece I had framed "Quaker Faith Hope and Love". This was a really relaxing piece to stitch and I am so delighted with the framing. Can you see in the closeup shot how the framer covered the spacer with the same fabric. She pays such attention to detail and I am always more than satisfied with the results. This piece hangs in the hallway of my apartment - I hope to add to the sampler wall and to enjoy them always instead of having them languish in the drawer!

The framer did a great job. This piece looks so great, very elegant with the Quaker motifs in three calm colours.
