framing in Winnipeg - follow up

Some time ago, I asked for a suggestion for a framing shop in Winnipeg.
Someone here suggested Sheena's Gallery, and thank you!

I had a piece that was a gift for a friend in Winnipeg. Rather than
framing it in Baltimore and spending big bucks to ship it, I sent the
unfinished piece to Sheena's Gallery to have it framed in Winnipeg,
where the gift recipient could pick it up. Sheena did a lovely job and
was a dream to work with. She even engaged with me in luring the gift
recipient to the shop under semi-false pretenses in order for it to be a
total surprise, and it worked. He was totally surprised. Great fun in
pulling it off!

So I heartily recommend Sheena's Gallery!

Hello Susan,

I'm glad that somebody beat me to the posting.

Sheena's is the very best place in Winnipeg, and one of the few
left.

Sheena and her partner do excellent framing and their selection in the
shop is wonderful. They carry some of the stuff that is only
available in Europe--like the DMC matte cotton and some lines of
kits. They also carry the Canadian designers' charts.

Sheena also treated me respectfully in the matter of a class where
their competition across the river signed me up, took my money, and
then told me that I could not take part...and then tried to refuse me
a refund.

Hooray for Sheena's!!!

Irene (grew up there)

I love Sheena's Gallery, I shop there for all my cross stitching material.

I had her frame The Fairy Grandmother and I wanted the matting a certain
way. When it was finished and I went to pick it up, I was blown away at
what a terrific job that she did.

I highly recommend Sheena's. She will even order in if you don't see what
you are looking for in the store. Great place and they are very friendly.
They will show you how to do a stitch if you don't know.

Yes Sheena's is great. Not only is she one of my best customers I can walk
to her shop in 10 minutes.

The closer one gets to perfection,
the harder it is to achieve.
