If you frame it I would either type out or if you have great handwriting, write the story behind it and then have that frames with it.
This is just a thought...I would suggest that you play with your 'notebook' (ibm) or 'textedit' (mac) program and font sizes/styles/colors, to type out the story, then print it on printer fabric, sew it to the backside after you do, what you will do, on the front. It is a beautiful piece of needlework, it would be a shame to loose the story that goes with it, for future generations to read and understand, what the unfinished work represents. Have you ever seen the unfinished portrait of George Washington? One of the most famous portraits known in this country. Where would we be without the story?
