Together with your ideas and sleeping on it, I knew what I wanted to do. I framed it in black (your idea), added corded leaves (my idea), and included my word in stitching on the border (your idea). Now it feels finished, I Love the look of it, and I hope my friend likes it too. It's a housewarming gift for her. Thank you for your help!
