alternate finishing methods
I have made wall hangings out of my cross stitched pieces, here's a
picture of one: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...95549564BvCHxX Those that are familiary with Trail Creek Farm will notice that I 'borrowed' her covered-buttons finishing touch. LOL Doing a wallhanging is a great, inexpensive alternative for framing and I think it's particularly fitting when the piece would be classified in the styles of "folk art", "rustic", "primitive" etc...

Katla in Canberra It would also be a good way to go with seasonal objects you only want to display for brief periods. Find a nice display space on the wall, install a nice hook or rod or whatever, and change the needlework with the season and/or the holiday. And have a couple of other just of things you like for those "tween times. |

I've made some hangings that turned out very nicely. Buy some heavy heavy
heavy interfacing/fabric stiffner. I can't remember exactly what it's called but you can use it to make baseball cap brims. Cover this with some pretty fabric of your choice, then center and tack down your sampler on it. I used the smallest amount of sampler fabric when I turned down the edges as I didn't want to loose too much of this sampler, when someday I might want to frame it or do something else with it.
