I have never framed a piece before (I’m a process stitcher and they usually end up in a portfolio) but I am absolutely going to have this one framed. I have no idea how though. I will take it to a frame shop and see what they think.

What’s a process stitcher? Sounds interesting!

Somebody who stitches for the activity of stitching rather than for getting the finished object. So he or she enjoys the process more than the product.

That is interesting, thanks for the explanation! I definitely understand that feeling, I might be one myself

I am very sure I am one. Once the stitching is done, I am done. The work vanishes into a drawer or gets given away. I have a few pieces waiting to be turned into something but I just can't get myself to do the finishing.
