Another nice monthly design from Cross-eyed Cricket and I used everything that the designer recommended. It has been a real hit with our shop customers. The Star Sapphire Linen just gives the background enough color, yet doesn't take away from all the nautical motifs that accent the letters. It was fun - and very easy - can also be stitched on aida and it will look just as nice. I did accent with JAB Co buttons and the frame is again custom using a rustic off-white
