You got that right they are very expensive to frame. I did four more two for each of my daughters. Really enjoyed making them alot. I did a couple on linen but it was real hard on eyes even with magnifier glass so I prefer to do them on adia.

Count me in. I do cross stitching and love it. I finished an English country side picture. Just need a frame. I am also working on a bald eagle and the american background. It is a counted cross stitch, so it is taking LOOOOONG!! I have put that on the back burner for now and am busy making a queen sized american/americana quilt with the 7 virtues of the army embroidered on the top.
I have 4 more quilts including the one I mentioned. So when I get tired of quilts (which happens from time to time). I get quilt fatique. Then I switch to cross stitching or one of the many other crafts I enjoy doing.

I cross-stitch, too. Just not as much as I would like to--quilting comes first!
