Framed and dancing all the way!

I have framed this myself and I am very pleased with my efforts. I carefully pinned and stretched the piece of work and measured it in mm.  The frame is dark blue and really suits the stitching. Sorry about the flash on the glass but this was the best photograph  I could do. This is going to be my leaving present for the church I have been attending here in Coventry.
Thank you to Clare who told me about this frame shop in Coventry I think  I will be using it again.
Happy Stitching all

  10. Very nice piece and lovely framing! When I frame something myself I always remove the glass from the frame, put the stitched piece and backing board in then photo it. Take it all apart and replace the glass, reframe and hang!
    That way you avoid any flash and get a much nicer picture.(hopefully a useful tip for next time).
    Your church will love this gift.
