Some handmade pieces carry far more than stitches — they carry a message, a memory and a lot of hours of work.This marriage-themed cross stitch has been custom framed in a warm timber frame with a clean white mat and fine pink accent, allowing the words and colourful stitched details to remain the focus.Long, narrow needlework pieces like this are a great example of why custom framing works so well for handmade art. The proportions of the frame and mat can be designed specifically around the piece rather than trying to make it fit a standard frame size.From wedding and anniversary cross stitch to embroidery, samplers, inherited needlework and handmade gifts, we can help turn something carefully stitched into something ready to live on the wall for years to come.Custom cross stitch and needlework framing by Sunset Framing & Gallery, Port Macquarie.
