French Cottage with a Purple Door

I stitched this 5"x 5" cottage in 2019.  It is a freebie pattern from The Victoria Sampler.  I changed a few of the colors and the title - yep, I really like purple doors.  The other major change I made were the trees.  I stitched them with hundreds of French Knots and allowed the tree to fall out of the frame to add some realism to the piece.

My niece, Alexis, really liked the piece, so I did a finish around a 5" x 5" wood-lined canvas, lining the back with some purple batik and adding the final touch of ruffled satin ribbon around the perimeter.  I sent this to Alexis as a belated birthday gift for 2020.

Just love that purple.
