Framed finishes - 3 samplers and a mermaid

I've had a framing splurge and picked them all up from the framers at once.

Just Nan's Catnip Tea - this kit was a gift and it was my first Just Nan stitched. I finished it in 2005 and waited this long to have it framed.

Just Nan's Creativity - my second Just Nan, also a gift and finished in 2008. I love the colours in this one - perfect for my loungeroom. I have green floor tiles and a pinky/red feature wall. This wall will become my sampler wall over time.

The 'B' Sampler - Some of you may remember when I finished this one in February this year. Not so fancy a finish, also because I hadn't given the framer a lot of excess fabric to work with. This one is destined for another wall in the house. I still like the verse I changed. The chart was a gift - a friend saw it and thought of me!!


The whopper - I had been quoted in excess of $270 to have this framed. My lovely local lady charged me $80 - double matted, lovely frame, stretched and glass. (I should have remembered to ask for non-reflective!) Mirabilia's 'Mermaid Queen' (I think that's the title) - stitched on hand dyed evenweave (also a gift).
