My New Needlework Frame…

It’s Here! 

I ordered this table-mounted needlework frame last December from a talented needleworker in Russia…before everything went crazy overseas. We corresponded about what I wanted for personalization, and it was produced in January. My package shipped January 16th, and then I started tracking its progress. It wasn’t good. 

Russia to Poland to Germany. Russia for a long, long, long time. Once in Germany, it sat and sat. March 26th, it showed as being received in Jersey City, NJ. It was finally stateside! It languished in NJ until last week. When I saw it was in Illinois, I almost threw a party!

I greeted our postal carrier at the door Thursday. I actually got home from the retreat before she came with our mail. There it was. A compact box with packaging tape with Russian text on it. 

My Goldwork Wreath In The Frame

There are multiple accessories to create various configurations. I’ve chosen this setup for my goldwork piece. Having it flat will allow me to rest my goldwork chippings on the hoop as I work. You’ll definitely be seeing more of this frame in the future. 

I managed to complete two corners on my “Everlasting” quilt while I was at retreat. I’ll work on corner three over the weekend, and show you my progress on Monday. 

Happy Easter to my fellow Christians,
