I know, if only they could talk. I fear she'd have been giving me a devil of a talking to. [emoji38]
Thank!!
That's what I've always used, and I love it.
I'm not much for framing stuff either.
But since I've been looking around at various sites, FB stitching group, various blogs, and Instagram, wow...lots of different choices out there to finish your finished projects.
They don't just mat and frame things these days. [emoji23]
Course, years and eons ago, when I was stitching, in our area, the popular way to finish was to put it in a hoop, sometimes a decorative hoop, and hot glue ruffled lace or some other ruffled fabric to the backside of the hoop.

Yes, dating myself here...[emoji38]
There are a lot of what they call "smalls" that people are stitching. Sooooooo pretty. They finish them into little pillows, and put them in wooden bowls on a table, or turn them into Christmas ornaments.
LOVE them!! Have a long list of wantsies!! [emoji23]
Good morning Paul.

Forgive me, I don't think I greeted you this a.m. Hope you get some down time today!
Glad you're drying out some.
