stitched and framed

Doing cross stitch has always felt rewarding to me. I start with a blank piece of fabric and after hours/days/weeks I get to see the stitched picture appear on the once blank fabric. But when I send that piece off to the recipient, I feel like I am still not seeing the full picture. While my part of the project is completed, without the matting and/or framing I feel like it is not 100% finished. So I'm always appreciative when I receive a photo of the stitched project framed. 
​Thank you Camille for sending the photo of America, Land that I Love (framed)
