I have attached two designs which I have sampled last year along with the verse.  The first is stem stitch. The second one is portuguese stem stitch.

On the joined edges I have stitched a line of feather stitch and then added french knots to it.   I have sandwiched the embroidered piece with a layer of cardstock at the bottom, then a thin sponge sheet, then the fabric, then the transparent sheet. Used fabric glue to stick the four sides of each layer.  Then to make a simple frame I have attached a glue sticker like stone and pearl border on all four sides.  The frame is ready.
