Two Framed Finishes

A week or so before Christmas I was able to pick up two framed pieces from Stitchville USA . If you live in the Minneapolis area and you have never been to this store - you must go. Go now. It is a fabulous store with wonderful people working there that are always ready and willing to help with anything you need. They also do a fabulous job framing!

So - here is my Birds of a Feather Mystery Sampler all framed:

Birds of a Feather Mystery Sampler
With Thy Needle & Thread
Called for Fabric & Fiber
Called for Frame - Valley Primitives

It was such a fun project to stitch and the frame that was made for this, well, I just can't put in to words how beautiful it is. The pictures don't do it justice. Here is a closer picture of the frame. The color of the frame is just wonderful with the colors of the stitching.

I also picked up my Gameboard Sampler:

Frame is a bluish weathered frame ordered through Stitchville

Here is a closer look at the frame. I really like it:

So, that's it for now. I have a couple more posts coming with some finishes and what I'm working on now. Thanks for stopping by.

Stitching!

So, here are a couple pieces that I have finished stitching, but haven't finished into anything yet. Finishing. Ugh. I'm not very good at it. But that's a topic for another time.

The two pieces I have being framed right now are the Mystery Sampler by With Thy Needle & Thread and The Gameboard Sampler by Drawn Thread. I should have them back in a couple weeks. I can't wait! Tonight I am starting the SAL put on by The ThreadBasket. Can't wait to get started ~ it has a snowman in it. :)

Sorry that the pictures aren't the greatest. I may need to invest in a new camera. Does anyone have any suggestions for something that is easy to use, but takes good photos? Let me know!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
