They are available to us because we have a business. <br /><br />Your local needlework store is able to get the same frames that Barb and I use....plus some wonderful others that we haven't even seen. We have a couple of local shops that do wonderful framing. The shop owners seem to know what will really enhance the piece too!<br /><br />AlmaAlma Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949001917793747333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903254831788244923.post-83384409352790428982010-08-18T13:41:47.711-05:002010-08-18T13:41:47.711-05:00Alma,

LOL, love you both!<br /><br />Barb's "newest" favorite color is Crescent Colours Camouflage. She used this floss on the vine that surrounds the house. After seeing this one finished, I have to admit, I ran to my local shop and got a couple of skeins.

Don't know exactly what you mean. <br /><br />I have looked at frames before at JoAnn's, but they don't have molding nearly as nice as at my local needlework store. They seem to be less expensive, though. :) <br /><br />Help?

I have them make the frame and I stretch my piece and insert it into the frame. Barb has done the same thing...but lately she has had a local shop order the frame and stretch her piece and insert it into the frame.Alma Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949001917793747333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903254831788244923.post-5093731100553285392010-08-15T19:38:43.983-05:002010-08-15T19:38:43.983-05:00Alma,

After photography has been completed we remove the piece from the frame and insert glass. I love glass....I do have several pieces that are framed without glass and they have maintained their pristine look over the years. So, I think just do what makes you the happiest.<br />What I think I would love the best is to find some vintage glass...the ones with a bit of a wave and bubbles. It would make the piece look older. But alas, I don't have a source for older glass.<br /><br />AlmaAlma Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949001917793747333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903254831788244923.post-4765712813577398572010-08-14T18:26:19.129-05:002010-08-14T18:26:19.129-05:00My granddaughter just finished stitching
