It's beautiful and it's perfect, Rose! The poem adds depth and meaning to the poppies! Wonderful!

Where have I been to have missed this completion?

Rose, this is stunning. Really stunning. I think you made the right decision not to stitch the poem over the top. The mounting is perfect, the frame sets the colours of to perfection. What a thoughtful and delightful gift, I'm not sure I could bear to part with it!

A quite stunning finish, Rose.

That is such a wonderful and moving finish to the project -- it is a truly emotional piece!

Thank you for all of the wonderful thoughts it really means alot to my son as he has lost some good friends since he has joined the military and he love to have meaningful poems. He reads alot of them and also likes bible verses. So it is usually pretty easy to make up something for him it is just hard to pick the right design to go with the verses.
