On Saturday I took my daughter and her soon-to-be husband along to the framers so they could pick out the frame for their stitchery, "My Sweet Rose" by John William Waterhouse. I asked the framer if he gets many stitcheries to frame from other people in the area. He said that he does get several, but none are nearly as nice as the ones that I have done. That is a real complement, not only to me, but to Scarlet Quince as well. Yes, it does take over a year or two to complete (I always use 18 thread count), but I think it is well worth it.
