I’ve finally finished the rose in the middle of my Classic Impressions Needlepoint project. I’m glad to have it done. I can now work on the last of the borders.
I’ve discovered that if I ever get this project finished and washed, I’m going to have to block it, to try and get it squared up. As you can see, it’s edges are crooked. I guess my stitching tension has varied a bit too much over the years.
Anyway, I’m happy to have it this much finished.
Here’s wishing everyone a pleasant rest of the week.
How lovely, E.C. This is stunning. I would take the piece to a frame shop. They usually do blocking with the framing, but that could be depending on your location. It’s a really beautiful piece. 💗🖼️

Thanks so much Colleen,
I usually frame my stuff myself. It’s a great suggestion. I don’t know of any shops that does framing. As slow as I am, By the time I get this darling finished, who knows what shops will have sprung up in my area. lol 🌞

I’m sure you will be able to block it just fine, E.C. So many of the old framing places are long gone. 💜

Thanks so much Colleen. Most of the good old places have gone away with the years.

It is beautiful, EC. You must have an enormous amount of patience to have stiched this picture

Thanks so much Pip,
I’m pleased with how it’s coming along. I’ll be glad when it’s finished. It’s not really patience as much as I’m just super slow at needlepoint.🌞

Looks amazing, E.C.! This is going to be so beautiful when framed. Stitching tension does vary over time; I can see it in small areas of my long-running Fox and Rabbit cross-stitch too. I hope the needlepoint straightens out without much difficulty.

Thanks so much Anita,
It’s something how the tension varies. I guess it goes with our moods.
I appreciate the positive thoughts for my needlepoint straightening out. I have a feeling; I’m going to need it. 🌞
