This one is Cats Meow by Drawn Thread, I actually completed this last year but have never got around to framing, the only change I made was the border colour and I think I used Salt Petre (WDW), I thought a simple Pine Frame did it right by me.
The next I have framed is by Elizabeth Design - House of my own, again I finished this at the end of last year, I didn't change any of the colours but I did change the beads, this was a fun one to stitch
My other framing finish has been Stitchers Prayer by Little House Needleworks, this was my first piece I put on my blog last November, this I changed a lot, I stitched the words in WDW Swamp Water and stitched it 1/1 on vintage Belfast 32ct linen, I was rather happy with the result.Thanks to everyone for all the comments, I really appreciate them. KarenV you are right my current WIP is a Homespun Elegance, but can anyone guess which one?

Wow! You snuck in and posted a whole bunch of messages - your finishes are lovely - I especially like the La D Da picture....
I'm having trouble with blogger today too - it won't post my picture either...
Congrats on all this wonderful finishing, Su! You're sure to enjoy them for a very long time. :D
You are certainly a talented framer too! I love these designs and the mats. Can you tell us what kind of mat cutter you use? I have a cheapo one from eBay-and as you can imagine, it doesn't cut well.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my! They are all so stunning Su!! Congratulations!
Wow Su - all those pieces are gorgeous and your framing looks soooo professional! You've got a great eye for matching up mats and frames too. Way to go!!!
Lovely framing Suzie, congratulations
Is your Homespun Elegance Spring Patches? That is on my list of "to do" this Spring.
Lovely LHN, Elizabeth Design & Drawn Thread (those cats are cutie pies)
Enjoy the day ... stitch well today!
What beautiful finishes :) I especially love the Drawn Threads one!
Hi Susi!
Well done on the framing, (nearly got 'farming' then....!!!) I have a few that need doing, want to pop up here and do them??=)
Thanks for visiting my blog. There'll be more pics soon...

Your framing all came out great. Getting some of your stitching things framed must be very satisfying. Happy Stitching, CJ
These are all stunning. Both th estitching and the framing. Great job. Where do you find your frames?
you did have a busy weekend.Isn't it a nice feeling to get things framed.Did you have the mats and frames cut for you ? they all so well finished off, the frames compliment the work nicely.
I had to post again to tell you that you did a great job on framing these!
Wonderful stitching, and gorgeous framing. Do you do the matting yourself? How??
