Framed

Halloween Cat by Satsuma Street

I finished this in January 2022, and I hemmed the edges and used magnetic poster hangars (like these ones), but I never really liked it. The fabric slipped in the hangar, so it was a bit skew-wif and I thought it would get dusty and dirty. Now I know how to frame embroidery, I decided to re-do this one.

The frame is from IKEA – the roedalm – and it has a spacer in it, so your embroidery can be at the front or a back (not touching the glass-plastic, that’s how I framed it).

The design is from Satsuma Street, and I stitched it on 25 count linen (two over two), using the called-for DMC.

My Lady’s Quaker is Framed

My Lady’s Quaker – Jardin PrivĂ©

This is the third piece that I have framed (and the last for a while – I need to finish something).

I finished this in August 2019. I always intended to frame it, but I don`t have a reliable local framer, so it languished, but now I can frame things myself.

I used a frame from Rinkits, foam core board, batting and I laced the back. This frame has quite a bit of depth to it, and I think next time I would go something thinner.

Gum Nuts (Third Term Stitching Project) Framed

Let the lacing begin

I have framed my Gum Nuts stitching.

I used 6mm foam core board. I glued a thin batting to the board, pinned the embroidery and then laced it.

It was hard to take a photo of the finished product because the frame has glass in it. The frame is from Rinkits.
