This counted cross stitch project was stitched in 1992...I framed it last night :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a few more to frame. I have to buy the framing materials a little at a time because Michaels puts out 1 coupon per week. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Congrats! Doesn't it just feel good to finally finish a UFO! I always get such a feeling of satisfaction. Do you have a special spot for this or is it going to be a Christmas gift?

Ducky 11-05-2009 12:55 PM

FancyFoot, that is really cool! How big is it? I do lots of counted cross stitch, too, and I know how expensive framing can be!!!

Thanks Tiffany
This is for me. It will fit perfectly in my computer room that has a tropical bird motif.

Very nice. I have a cross stitch that I started in 2000 that I need to finish. Maybe I can pick it up next summer

Don't feel bad. I cross-stitched the East Coast lighthouses for my husband several years ago and still haven't framed them. I really should get them done.

Very Pretty!!! I love how the tail of the parrot drops out into the matting!!! :D :D :D

Don't forget that Michael's will honor JoAnn's coupons if you want to do more than 1 a week.

Thanks Ducky
It's 11 x 14
I agree framing IS VERY expensive, thats why I do it myself.
This one cost me $15.00 to frame. I try to use standard sized frames, but should I need an odd sized one, I go with sectional frames. They work great :) :) :)

Well that is most interesting! I wonder if my local Michael's does the same? Do they have to be the manufacturer's coupon or can it be the coupon that is sent by email?

burnsk 11-06-2009 07:47 PM

The Michael's here in Michigan honors both, as long as JoAnn's sells a similar product.

burnsk 11-06-2009 07:51 PM

Michaels here will honor JoAnn's fabrics coupons, both mailed, newspaper and email as long as they sell the same type of product. JoAnn's will honor Michael's coupons as long as it is for a similar product. Since Michael's doesn't sell fabric - no discount on fabrics using Michael's coupons.

ooooooooo thats beautiful :D

joeyoz 11-07-2009 10:04 AM

Beautiful job. :D :D :D

you can also get additional Michael's coupons by signing up for them at their web site.

ranger 11-09-2009 10:32 AM

It is lovely.

I don't do cross stitch....maybe I should try it. Is it hard on your eyesight?
