Will you be getting a simple or a "fancy" frame?

OP chermoni Ballard Beaver! Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 5,621 The emerald city	I want to get a brown wood frame and I want to mat it, I think with a cream color mat. I have to find a 15x18 frame to be able to mat it though. Hopefully I'll find one. I saw one online but I'd rather find one in a store here and not have to pay the shipping and then wait for it. I'm not too excited about most cross stitch designs but when I saw this one it spoke to me and I had to have it. Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.

loz Unregistered	Cheryl I can truly say that is beautiful....I know how much work that took you since I too do counted cross stitch. It takes FOREVER to do one that size with that much detail and outlining. I love it and it's one that I would've picked out to do myself.... Good job!

You did wonderful work---I have only done the designs on a bread cloth or two, but I know just from that the time & work envolved. Your work is beautiful. Tt is the Perfect piece.----I can't wait to see it when you have it matted & framed. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
