I am new to contributing to the blog and am also just getting back to needle pointing again after a short hiatus. In the meantime, here is a pic of an old cross stitch project back when it was still in progress:

So glad that you are now another contributor to the blog! The piece is perfect in that room, Mary. Thanks for sharing! As I recall you did the framing yourself. Most impressive.

  Yes, I found a framed print in the right size on clearance at Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts. Since cross stitch fabric is pretty pliable, it’s not so hard to stretch and frame at home. I still haven’t attempted framing a canvas piece because trying to stretch canvas doesn’t seem like it’d be as forgiving.
