I have finally finished the Follow Your Heart project and wanted to share the technique. The original design was created with the Calligraphy Project Designer which is very easy to use.

Since this is for a very special college student, I used a wrapped canvas as my "frame." That way, it can be easily hung with wall-friendly adhesive or displayed on a desk or shelf.  Start by trimming and squaring the central embroidery. I made it approximately half of the size of the canvas.
