I finally framed these two last night. I had been waiting on them because I was going to lace them. Well, I finally got tired of waiting for myself and, instead, I used glue. I figured they weren’t important enough to fuss about. I will continue to lace large pieces, though. Just to be safe.
So, here they are. First up is Never for Granted, by My Mark Designs:
This one will go on Terry’s desk at work. I chose overdyed floss that I had on hand for the hearts and added the personalization like what you might see carved into a tree trunk.
It looks better in person. The fabric is a crisper antique white and the black of the frame looks really snappy. But, I am left to the whims of my scanner. 😉
The second one is by Cindy Valentine Designs. It was called Christmas Boxtop (I believe), but I totally personalized the colors by choosing an overdyed silk for the border and then pulling out solid colored silks to match. I finished this one a couple of years ago, but never mounted it in its boxtop because I didn’t like the fabric I chose to underlay the hardanger section. I finally soaked off the glue keeping the underlayment in place and replaced it with a darker color. And now it’s all done and mounted in a whitewashed finished Sudberry House box.
Now to find a use for it. Perhaps it will hold my used flosses in my stitching corner before they are put away.
Wow, that is SO beautiful! Love the colours on the Cindy Valentine piece.
Nice!
Awww, I love the Never for Granted piece. I’m going to have to stop reading your blog, if you don’t stop posting all of these pieces I end up wanting! LOL
They’re both beautiful, Jenna! Great framing! (And I have to admit that I always glue my small framed pieces.)
They both look beautiful. Congratulations on finally getting them finished, it was worth it!
They look great! You’ve done a lovely job with your framing.
Fabulous job framing both pieces. I remember the My Mark piece from CATS last year.
I love your interpretation of the CV design!
Nice feeling to get some things framed! 😀
They are both gorgeous Jenna, well done.
Wow you have done a great job with the framing. I love the Wedding sampler hearts, gorgeous.
Hugs xxxxx
Both pieces look wonderful! Great job on the framing:)
Both are beautiful, I really love the hearts though.
