You know how finishing really changes the look of a piece? Even the same design worked by the same stitch guide will turn out differently when you turn two finishers loose on it. Exhibit No. One--what Ruth Schmuff did framing Zecca's lotus piece. This is a perfect jolt of color for the depths of winter!

Hi Jane,
Isn't Ruth's approach wonderful. Love her colorful choice of frame. I was honored that she actually finished the Lotus Squared piece.
Thanks for mentioning her blog. I think I will do the same on the Needlepoint Study Hall blog.
Thanks, Robin
Happy to help out, Robin. I knew you were away and might miss this, so please do point this out at NP Study Hall. I know you will have something interesting to say!
