Give us this Day our daily bread And forgive us our Trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into Temptation But deliver us from Evil Amen.'

Colours are strong. No colour run. No stretching. The frame is in very good condition and the sampler is ready to hang on the wall.
