Vintage 1993 Handmade Needlepoint Cross Stitch Sampler Christmas Child & Puppy

This is a charming needlepoint piece done in 1993 as a Christmas gift for a friend. The piece measures 12x9" and is unframed but glued to a piece of hard cardboard. The cardboard has the Christmas sentiment on it. The piece shows some discoloration around the edges from previously being framed. The frame was damaged and I removed it for shipping. I think the piece could be removed from the board by soaking it and then laundered if you choose to do so but that would be at your own risk. It is a very charming piece as is.
