Hello Friends! Yesterday....the phone went a ring-a-ling-a-ling and I saw it was Hobby Lobby on the caller ID and *knew* what they were calling for....Lo's Frame was IN! Hootie Hoot! :o)
So although it was snowing something to beat the band..... and we already had 14 inches on the ground and were in the process of adding another 4 inches on top of the white stuff already out there...I was getting Lo's frame come "hell or high water".....as my Pap used to say....or maybe I should say "hell or high snow"? Because it's not going to be water anytime soon with 11 degree temperatures :o( Anyway, the frame made it the house with me ~ I'm sure you didn't have any doubt in me :o)
Last night I mounted the stitched piece...... and this morning after getting my kids to school and running to Michael's to get some hardware for framing I needed to get the job done, here is the final showing of Lo:
Lo How a Rose ~ Brightneedle
I couldn't be more proud, honestly... this hangs in all it's glory with its rust colored rose swag in my Entry, so the first thing you see when I open the door (besides myself, of course - TeeHee!) is Lo. Above the door hangs our Crucifix, and what a fitting place to hang Lo ~ since He (of course) is the subject of the piece. Tippity Tap....I'm dancing in delight!
It may be a while before I'm back...... My rotation is in a shambles as I have some commitments I need to take care of before I dedicate myself to anything else, including my stitching rotation. But I'll be around before you know it! As always, thank you for your comments, your friendship and your visits!
Until next time...... love and best wishes as you count your stitches and your blessings, from my house to yours! X X X X
STUNNING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, Vonna! Truly a lovely grouping to compliment that piece. Love the frame! You did a great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the rose swag.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice frame!!
ReplyDeleteWOW - that is beautiful, Vonna! And I love the frame too! Wish I could get something as nice for my Mystery in a Corner.
ReplyDeleteYou took down the shelves? I like this better and Keith won't knocking the shelves down when he walk around the corner. Remember when that happened last year when I was there.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! What a beautiful way to welcome your guests. Not only you and your beautiful face but your lovely work of art.
Take care and stay warm!
Love, Mom
Lo is stunning and your presentation is perfect. What a lovely sight upon entering your home (besides your shining mug). Love the frame choice, I would've braved the snow too!
ReplyDeletewow...it's beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove the frame Vonna. Your placement and display of it is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is breathtaking and your rose swag compliments it so beautifully! Can you tell me, did you do the framing yourself? Everytime I take a piece to be framed it's gone a month or more and I see so many people getting things framed so quickly! Sounds like you ordered the frame? Congrats on your finish. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have every reason to be proud of yourself, it's simply stunning! I love your frame choice :) Huge congrats on the finish/framing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Vonna! I absolutely love how it turned out. The frame is gorgeous! You should be very proud.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous girl! Beautifully framed and love how you accented it with the swag.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out gorgeous. Especially with the rose swag above it. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLo is truly fabulous and the frame is absolutely perfect. What a wonderful finish. Oh, and I love Easter Parade and how you finished it with the RicRac :)
ReplyDeleteVonna,
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful... I love it! Very nice frame and framing job! Looks perfect where you have it. Is it possible to still get this pattern, do you know? WTG
Vonna! This is beautiful. Your choice of frame is perfect. I'll catch up sometime this month on Lo. I'm finishing up an exchange right now that needs to get in the mail, but I'm glad I have your piece as inspiration. I will be displaying mine year-round as well, and I so appreciate that you mentioned the true subject of this piece.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful Vonna...I love the frame.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous frame, Vonna! I love it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Vonna. The frame is just perfect for your stitching.

ReplyDeleteVonna...I am in my car driving down to Bloomington now. Please leave the front door open so that I can come in and take this off the wall without too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Just beautiful!
That is stunning - the stitching and the frame. No wonder you are pleased.

Vonna – you have absolutely every reason to be proud of yourself! Your choice of frame is wonderful, and your framing job is terrific. I like how you have it displayed on your wall, too. It’s all perfect! I think I might have to stitch this one myself, after seeing your heirloom piece! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous! You also answered a question I had...whether Hobby Lobby would make JUST a frame or only did the complete custom framing. I can't afford the whole deal and usually buy ready-made frame sections. It's nice to know I can get a custom size in a nicer grade wood made also.
ReplyDeleteThat frame is spectacular!! It sets your beautiful stitching perfectly.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! The frame is perfect. Makes me want to actually finish something here.
ReplyDeleteOh, congratulations Vonna! Lo looks fab! Lovely frame too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful frame! Hmmm...Hobby Lobby did that! I'm impressed and will have to check them out!
ReplyDeletePerfect frame!!! It's so beautiful~
