TThis sonnet was brought from Norway. The stitcher performed this work flawlessly. The reverse side is hand finished, as is the attached pendant. The work is undated, but its condition and materials are modern enough, so I assume it was embroidered in the 20th century.
I offer both a reproduction of the original sonnet and my conversion (changed palette). And formed from this motif into a square plot that can be decorated both in a pillow and in a baguette.

Recommended fabric:
The original sonnet is stitched on a 20-count milk-colored even-weave cotton fabric.
The closest would be Bellana 20 ct. Zweigart Soft Cream (3256/99), but you can choose something between White 100, Antique White 101 and Ivory 264. Many shadesfrom white to chocolate go well with this story.
