I am sure many of you will recognise it - it was the "flavor of the month" at the time and popular with bloggers.
Maria was one of those - and refers to it as Sampler Cross Stitch.
All the posts showing pictures are dated 2014 - with no picture of the finished work. The link to the pattern is no longer valid - it looks like it came from "littlemissshabby" or Coriander Quilts.
Never mind now - it was all stitched.
I saw it while I was looking through a drawer (at other things) and there just happened to be some stripey fabric within eyeshot that looked a pretty good match.
So, I decided to finish it off.
Just for reference, I used DMCs in the following colours:
208 209 210 211 322 334 743 744 745 911 912 913 954 961 962 963 3716 3755 3841 3860 3861

A lovely finish. The border fabric fits in so well.
That stripe is just perfect! Great finish - finally lol. xx
The striped fabric matches perfectly. Good finish. I love mitred corners with stripes
Great fabric to finish the long awaited cross stitch. Looks lovely.
I remember stitching that Sampler Cross Stitch and have mine framed and hanging in the Cave.
Yes, indeed that stripe is perfect. Like the stitched part was just waiting for it.
What a cute finish. The striped fabric is perfect for it. Nice stitching, too!

A very colourful finish. It has matured perfectly.
It must feel good to have it finished. I do love it and the fabric is the perfect frame. I think I may have saved the patterns……but did nothing with them.
Great finish the border fabric looks really good.
