~ Framed ~

I was so happy yesterday, Michaels called and said my two stitches that I had left for framing were ready..... I'm really pleased with the way they turned out and I'm especially happy with the frames. I'm not sure where I'll be hanging them, for now I've put them on easels. I've put Bless Our Home on the sidecar, mixed in with the moonstone glassware and....

Yule Sampler is on a small chest in the Christmas corner......I kind of like it here, maybe this is where it'll stay. Have a happy holiday weekend, hugs, Linda

    Your framed stitch work is fabulous! I used to spend hours cross stitching about 20 years ago. I want to get started again with a few small projects, but I think I need to buy one of those fancy magnified lamps so I'll be able to see what I'm doing.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Blessings,
    Carol

    Beautiful framing! You must be so thrilled to have them both back. They're both wonderful, but I think my fave is the Yule Sampler. The frame sets it off so nicely.

    Have a good weekend!

    I love your completed samplers. I remember the pride of finishing a cross stitched piece and getting it back from the framer. These are both beautiful additions to your home. Happy weekend.

    I really like the way 'Bless This House' turned out. I would like to do that one if I can find it.
    I'm hoping they'll call and say mine is ready early in the week since I'm going out of town on the weekend.

    I should pack up all my incomplete cross stitch projects and ship them to you. I keep telling myself I'll finish them some day. You amaze me with all that you get done.
    Enjoy your weekend Linda. I heard that it is supposed to cool off soon!

    The frames you chose are really perfect with your pretty stitching. I put a picture on an easel too and so far it is staying there. I like it. Yours look really good. I hope you have a very nice holiday. Our weather has been soooo nice.

    Linda, the frames set off your needlework perfectly. I didn't realize that Michael's would do this. I will have to remember for my next project.

    God bless.
