Picked Angel of Hope up from the framer's today, barely got the chance to take a few snaps, then she was promptly rewrapped and taken to my niece's first birthday party! (I admit, I would have liked a little more time to admire her :oops: ). My SIL and brother thought she was beautiful and I was delighted they liked her. She's come up BIG ... I asked the framer to keep several inches of the fabric all the way round, consequently it's quite a large piece.

I put a small bobbin box on the floor so you can gauge the size of the picture.

I do like my framers, I think they do a splendid job, even making sure all the beads are facing 'up' and haven't rolled onto their side. I'm delighted with the job they've made of her.

That is an absolute triumph Jane!
It looks superb with all the extra "sky" around the angel - it really looks like she is looking down on your niece and captures the very reasons why you stitched it for her.
It is perfect.
