That's lovely. Venice is one of my favourite cities and the colours in that are gorgeous - so rich and set off so well by the gold frame :wub:

What a beautiful sampler with such rich colours. Great stitching and the frame is just right for it.

Happy Anniversary. Hope you had a wonderful day.

Thanks, everyone. We are very pleased with it, and just thought it was exactly the right time to get it out of the pillowcase in my "finished pieces" box and do something with it.

Better than that: huge bouquet (he's not generally given to buying flowers) and dinner out. After all these years, we still have things to talk about. Not bad. :P
