✨ MAKE FINISHING FUN™ — BEYOND THE FRAME ✨
Beautiful Ways to Finish Your Sampler Without Framing It

You finished the stitches. Now… what could your sampler become? ❤️🪡

Beyond the Frame is a beautiful 6-page digital inspiration guide created especially for stitchers who would like to explore possibilities beyond the traditional glass frame.

Samplers are wonderful framed—and sometimes they can become something completely different.

Inside, we explore four beautiful ways to enjoy your finished needlework:

🧵 A Sampler Pillow
Turn your stitching into a soft, beautiful part of your home while allowing the needlework to remain the focus.

🎀 A Sampler Hanging
Let the textile quality of your sampler shine with a simple hanging-style finish.

🏡 A Mounted Sampler Board
Create a versatile display that can rest on a shelf, mantel, tabletop or small easel.

❤️ A Sampler Keepsake
Transform a special sampler into the focal point of a keepsake box for treasured threads, letters, photographs or other little memories.

🌿 THIS IS AN INSPIRATION GUIDE

Beyond the Frame is not a step-by-step finishing tutorial.

It was created to encourage you to look at your finished sampler a little differently—to spark ideas, help you imagine the possibilities, and perhaps give you the confidence to try something new.

Choose a finishing method you already feel comfortable with… or one you feel comfortable trying.

Change the fabric. Add a little trim. Turn a sampler into something you never imagined before.

There is no single “right” way to finish your needlework.

✨ Perfectly okay to be perfectly imperfect. ✨

Your finish doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It doesn’t have to be professionally made. And it certainly doesn’t have to be perfect.

It only has to be yours. ❤️

❤️ THE MAKE FINISHING FUN™ PHILOSOPHY

Finishing your stitching should be part of the creative adventure—not something that intimidates you.

Sometimes a beautiful frame is exactly right.

And sometimes your stitches are asking to become a pillow, a hanging, a keepsake, a mounted piece… or something entirely your own.

Different finish. Same beautiful stitches.

Step outside your comfort zone.
Try something new.
You made the stitches.

Now have some fun deciding what they can become. 🪡❤️
