My New Frame is Empty???

I went out with a couple of friends this morning to a Big Lots and found a
really nice bargain. A 5" x 5" rather ornate pewter frame.

Now I must have something to put in it. After all, I wouldn't want the poor
little frame to stay empty, would I?

What wonderful ideas do you have for me for something great that will fit in
a 5 x 5?

What kind of art do you like? Have you looked at Solaria?

Or how about an intitial?

would be stunning on a silver laced fabric . . .they say it's about 7
inches on 11 count - it would be a perfect fit with a mat on 18. .

Some of the Dessins are very nice, but neither the L or the Z are calling to
me.

I think I would love a miniature sampler. I might even have a Drawn Thread
chart in my stash that has two tiny samplers. I really should go and look,
shouldn't I?

So why not just do a letter you like? I'm partial to Q myself

Michaels has some nice NP kits that work up to 5x5.

Hi,

Most of the mill hill kits fit into the 5x5 frame....I have a few that
I change out for the seasons.

How about one of the initials from M Designs? The L and Z are both
lovely, and would suit an elaborate pewter frame well, I think.

It doesn't say how big they are, though. But they don't appear huge, and
you can vary the fabric size. And working with variegated could make it
interesting without a lot of changing!

Thanks. These are very nice and are going to the top of the list.

Free is always in style. How about a butterfly?
