A Variation on Alphabet Blocks, The Whole Kit & Caboodle

Thanks to Kay Goguen for sharing her gorgeous version of Alphabet Blocks! Notice the W for Whippet; she breeds them and currently has a litter of 6! Kay moved the willow and reptile to the bottom corners, and added a rabbit. She also decided to go without a border leaving a little extra linen between the sampler and this beautiful frame that she found at a consignment shop. Very creative! Thank you for sharing this!
