colonialstitcher Wonderful work! Do you give pieces as gifts or do you keep all of them (as I almost always do with mine)? 4 months ago

I don't do as many pieces as you do - and they take much longer (sometimes years - found some started pieces when mom moved out of the family house so actually some are waiting decades to be finished).  If it is something that I intended to hang in the house husband frames (when he can, he makes his own frames) it and hangs it.  If it is a gift - rare - ditto.  Other pieces that I have stitched just to learn a new technique or to demonstrate stitching  at reenactments or because my EGA chapter was doing the project I leave with the stitching finished, but nothing else done with it or I finish it as soft piece (like a mini quilt).  I then can bring it to demonstrations to show the various styles  of needleworking easier than if they were framed.  A piece I had stitched and given to my parents for their 35th anniversary - when we were taking apart the family house as mom was going to assisted living, I was told to take back.  Robert hung it (it was framed by him before I gave it to them as a gift back then) on my our side of our main studio (originally a den off the kitchen) for the family who owned our house before us.
