As you may know I've been trying to find another framer for my needlework. There's not many local ones around, and their choice of frames can be limited. One which I knew of, and thought their prices were going to be way too expensive, has turned out to be quite reasonable. They're not cheap mind you, but worth it for the excellent work they do. They have some interesting frames as well. Ones with a bit of character, style, and interest.
I've had two pieces framed, and two more I've left with them to be framed. Here's one to show you...
LHN ~ Colonial Dry Goods
Framed 4 April 2009
This is a LHN design called Colonial Dry Goods which I started in 2005 and didn't finish it until March 2008. It's one I had 'put aside' for a while and took too long to pick it up again to complete. It's stitched on 32ct Americana Blend linen using DMC and Crescent Colours threads.
I am so thrilled with the way it looks in this frame. There's a blue colour on the frame which ties in with the colour on my needlework. I just love the style of frame too. I'm very happy with the end result!

So cute! Perfect frame indeed. I like the design. I haven't seen it before. My local quilt shop is called "Village Dry Goods". It would be fun for them to change the name for their shop. I'll pass it along. Thanks for showing.
Wow!! This is beautiful!!!!! I think the frame is just perfect for this piece~
Great finish!!! I love this design! Your stitchings are so beautiful!
That is stunning, Jane. Your stitching is divine and the frame is perfect!

Beautiful stitching and framing!!! I'm glad you were able to find a framer you like.
A good needlework framer is definitely hard to come by...and worth the extra money when you do come across a great one! Congrats on a lovely finish!
This is really the perfect frame. It seems to represent the colonial theme as well.
Looks great, Jane. I love the frame.
I like this design, it looks stylish and good framed:)
It's beautiful! and you may have found your framer! Isn't it so satisfying to get something framed and then it finally feels 'finished'?
Framing is a real expense isn't it! I love the frame you chose for your Colonial Goods and I love this piece. And as always, your photography is so nice.
It's a perfect frame for this wonderful stitching
Wow, very nice finish! Frame is just perfect for this beautiful work, congratulations!
