THE FRAMER'S CORNER
I've really enjoyed getting to know everyone who has come to visit the shop. It's a treat to work on the stitching that you've brought in for me to frame. You've allowed me to explore creative matting techniques on your work that I've really enjoyed. Thank you for trusting me with your handiwork! I'm going to try my skills at hand-painted, decorated mats soon. Remember that I can frame anything ---not just needlework. Have you thought about a mat cut out of a Christmas tree with openings inside to display family photos? A new frame line is on the way, decorative and affordable. I can promise you a professional framing job that's creative and fast! SARAH SIGN UP FOR BEGINNERS NEEDLEPOINT STARTING SAT. AUG. 23
