You've done a great job, and luckily the summer is still long enough for you to enjoy your finished work!

Congratulations, it looks great! Any ideas about a frame yet, or is it going to be a cushion or something else?

It's going to hang in my bathroom!! Looked everywhere for a frame with a 9"x9" aperture, ended up in at good old Wilkinsons who had this frame (with a rubbish picture in it!) for £4.50!! - RESULT!!!

Might paint the frame white?? What do you think??? :thinks:

Three cheers for good old Wilko's :-)!

White... :thinks: hmmm -- might look very good indeed but I'm a little worried it may be too light? Blue would be difficult as there are so many blues in the design itself ... almost tempted by the red from the lighthouse, but that may be too bright... difficult -- looking forward to seeing what you decide on!

It looks fantastic, I love the picture and you have stitched it so quickly! I too think white would be too light, what about sanding the frame so it has a rough texture, painting it red or one of the blues and doing a sort of wash over it in white so it's not too stark?? I'm sure you'll decide on something. :applesauce: :applesauce:
