Show and Tell....A Quilting Lady....

I finished stitching her in December of 1999. I decided to frame her in a bit of an "ornate" frame - against the advice of the framer who thought she should be in a more casual frame. But I thought the one I chose suited her perfectly. I have her hanging in my living room - over a table that is filled with some other treasures. After all these years, I still stop and gaze upon her from time to time.

I like her, Linda! And I think the more ornate frame goes perfectly :)
Hugs, Joanne

Thanks Joanne! I did this with another design I stitched. Framer thought I should go with a wooden frame - I again, picked a more ornate one. I'm such a rebel - LOL!

Hi Linda! This is so beautiful, and I think your frame choice is perfect! Sometimes framers go by too many rules other than what looks really nice.
