Autumn Medley - Finished!

Finally I finished the Autumn Stitch, "Autumn Medley" © Heart in Hand today!
"Thank you so much for everyone" who told me about the framing cost in the past comments.
I think most of countries are the same, handmade frames are really expensive aren't they?!
As well as in Japan, I asked a shop staff about the frame for this "Autumn Medley", the other day.



This "Autumn Medley" is only about width 5cm x height 28cm (about 2 inch x 11 inch), but Handmade frame cost me about 8,500 yen (it's about $77.00) !!
This stitch is just for Autumn season and I'm not so in love with this design (lovely though, lol), so I thought I would find a ready-made frame for it, and I found it, actually!
The frame size isn't just fit for the stitch, but I will add something in blank areas and will make it maybe tomorrow, if the weather was fine!

This is the first time for me to stitch © Heart in Hand design, and bought a button pack, too.
I like it and there are so many series of the same kind of ablong design, so I will buy and add more designs for my collection!

By the way, I hope I can show you the framed this piece in a few days!

This is really lovely Yuko. The colours are bright and Autumnal and I love the shape of this design.

It's amazing that they should be asking so much to frame it. You are very creative and I'm sure it will look beautiful in the frame you bought.
Good wishes Angela

Ack! That's the only Medley out of the four seasons that I have not stitched yet! Do you want to send it my way? ;o)

You did a great job and I love your photography skills :o) I got mine custom framed and I think they were around $40 each but the frame I chose wasn't very expensive.
