Wonderful finish and the frame is great. Did you do the framing? I bet she is loving such a personal present.

Re: Elaine's victorian ice skater finish.
That's a lovely finish Elaine. The framing looks very good - was it difficult to do? I've mounted and framed lots of photographs but never tried to do a cross stitch - scared I ruin it, I think.
I'm sure your mother-in-law will love this.
