Thanks, Diane. This is simply brilliant. I have a pathetic collection of things needing finishing, and most of them are small -- ie. I should have been doing these myself for years. Apparently I'm a lazy stitcher.
I'm not sure what my attack plan will be, and I'm not even certain how many items I have hanging about. Among the ones I remember are:
1. dozens of ornaments and other smalls like--
2. needlepoint clock inserts--- waiting for me to find both the inserts and the clocks in the same place in space and time --
3. a couple SBs who languish because as much as I love the Jill mats, they are cut too thin to work in regular frames. I keep debating the wisdom of having these framed with copper tape so they all match or having special filler mats cut so they can fit in real frames .....
4. Mirabilla's Halloween Fairy -- she's stalled because I can't for hte life of me find the right frame.
5. Heritage Stichcraft's Tudor Rose
6. BBD's My Quaker House -- also waiting for the perfect frame
7. Midsummer Night's Quaker Meeting House -- uess what... waiting for the right frame...
I really am looking forward to getting some of these things well and truly finished!
happy finishing to all and to all a good night,
Ruth
