Oh Holy Night, Nativity – Stony Creek – Framing

Once again my local framers have done a wonderful job finishing this for me.

When I took it in to them, we debated for some time on the lighter and darker version of this frame, finally settling for the latter, and I’m so pleased I did because it seems to bring out the gold and darker shades of the piece so well.

    1. It's a big help having a trusted framer, Robin. Frames of London have been doing my bigger pieces (and a few smaller ones) since the 1980's. Happy Stitching. Sue x

    1. Thank you so much Stasi. I must admit I was worried, in case I had made the wrong decision, but I'm very happy with the outcome. Happy Stitching! Sue x
