My decorating style is a bit traditional, and it usually doesn’t involve gold frames.
That being said, some of my favorite pieces in my house are my finished stitchings, and those ARE in gold frames. Although I can definitely appreciate a good gallery wall using all black frames…the stitching that I do doesn’t always lend itself to black! I am a firm believer in framing to match the stitching…not to match the house!
These lovely ladies used to be spread all over the house, but recently I decided that I wanted to have them in one spot…and the stitching corner was born!
Couldn’t get a picture without glare…but you get the idea. All of these are oddly enough by Lavender & Lace. Two were stitched by me (the two on the right) and one by a dear friend right after my first son was born.
As stitchers (or “crafters” of any type) it seems like we always have WIPs…and usually those are what we end up seeing on blogs…projects in progress…to maybe or maybe not ever be finished. I thought it would be nice to show you some of my finished works…and how I’m displaying them in my home.

Thanks for joining my party!
I love your stitching corner I think having a grouping of similar style like you have gives each piece more impact.
I especially love Emma's Garden - I had that chart in my stash for the longest time, but I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get around to stitching it, so I gave it away.
I agree with you - the frame should match the art, not your home!!!
I love your stitchery corner, those are all amazing! I especially love the mother holding the baby. All of my stitching are in different frames, because they match the stitching :-)
What a stunning corner - beautiful pictures!
Nice! Love the color of your walls too. That birth sampler is so sweet!
Beautiful corner and beautiful pieces.
Lovely! I wish i had more finished and framed pieces!!
Beautiful stitching by yourself and your friend, they look super grouped together on your wall.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
WOW!
I am sooo envious of your finishing!
I am so bad at it.
I guess I have to make it more of a priority. It's not that I don't know how to frame, but I a so picky about the "right" frame, that I never seem to find it!
Really beautiful!
There are no prettier patterns than Lavender and Lace - and you did them justice. Those are probably has difficult as cross stitch gets. Kudos.
I love to see things on walls! I seem to post wip and once finished - I have so many finished, unframed things... love the LnL baby and angel!
I love what you did with your stitching corner!! The lace edging on the little girl (is that Emma?) is stunning!
I have my cross stitched all around the house, depending on the room, and recently hung 3 Mirabilias up on what I call my "Mira Wall." :D
What a pretty collection of stitching. You have a wonderful stitching corner with those gold frames.
