"Protect the Beautiful Places" Alphabet and Nature Embroidered Sampler

  "Protect the Beautiful Places"

This "Protect the Beautiful Places" Alphabet and Nature Embroidered Sampler is a finished Bucilla Stamped Cross Stitch Kit. It was designed by Nancy Rossi and Copyrighted in 1990. I bought this kit I don't know how many years ago at Ames and just got around to completing it this week.

This sampler is embroidered and cross stitched on printed white sailcloth. It has been washed to remove the printing, so all that is left is the stitching. The words on it are, "Let us protect the Beautiful Places." It has fish, flowers, trees, coral, Orca, Panda, Ducks and Geese in the pattern surrounding a forest scene. There are 9 numbers cross stitched on it and a full alphabet embroidered on the sampler. 

Without a mat, the frame should measure: 11" by 14". With a mat, the frame should be 15" by 18".  That is....when I get around to making a frame for it.

The Backside

I remembered to sign it, but not a lot of areas available.

Alphabet and Flower Sampler Picture

This pattern I believe is from a Bucilla Kit. It is stitched on a Linen type of cloth. I stitched it a couple year ago and found it in the back of a closet with supplies. I always felt bad I didn't give this to my grandfather as he loved it, but my grandmother kept saying they had no wall space left. It has never been hung.

It is already matted and framed. The framed finished size is 17x23 inches. The sampler size unframed would be 11 3/4 x 17 3/4 inches. I framed it myself and added a backing to keep the dust out. My nana taught me how. Someday, I'll add a "how to" on here for it.
