Description

Counted cross stitch sampler. Linen fabric with floss embroidery. A gray ship is at the top. Beneath the ship, in blue, are the words "A Ships a Breath of Romance That Carries us Miles Away." Below the quote is a stitched rectangle with black initials "J.W.E.". Below the initials is an upper case alphabet stitched in black. The sampler is 'framed' by cross stitched vines (brown), leaves (green), and four pink roses (one in each corner). The back has been "hemmed" with mailing stickers/labels. The sampler came in a black wooden frame with glass.
