The magic that my framers worked with the latest piece that I dropped off to be framed is just purr~fect! Nancy of New Creations Picture Framing was kind enough to share a picture on Facebook since it is a 2 hour drive for me. Didn’t this come out wonderful?

I swear I select the most color challenging pallette that is out there with my choice of canavses and threads. Thank you for having the patience to go through just about every single possible color combination that you had in the shop and just nothing was working. I mean nothing! I was getting very discouraged…

Until they pulled out a box of these Lucite tiles. This is it! You make several selections and the piece is sent out and a frame is created according to your choices.

I have to thank Ruth Schmuff of Bedecked and Beadazzled for finding this framing for her Pear Collage mystery class…and the rest is history!

As Ruth describes it, you pick the pattern color, the background color and design, even the lip color and it is molded as a single piece. Amazing engineering indeed!

I will take you backwards in time…this was piece all finished and ready for the framers… or did I want a bag? or did I want it framed?

Selecting the background stitch with the help of Meredith at The Blue Bonnet Stitching Studio earlier this year.

The stitch charted out as I had so many people ask me, what stitch is that?

The canvas before I started stitching. Peacock Alley was kind enough to send me a magnet along with my canvas. One can never have too many magnets?

Sylvester I believe was sticking out his tongue at me as he was saying I am keeping your spot warm. and until next time…keep on stitching
