My latest project

My friend's DD is doing her kitchen in a rooster theme.



Found a nice rooster picture at Michaels in punch needle. I hate punch needle. So I'm filling him in with long-and-short stitch. She'll never know that he's facing the other way from the picture on the box. :)



QUESTION: does anyone have a good source for 5x5 picture frames? I have several items here that are going to need them. The best Michaels has is an 8" frame with a 5" mat, but between the 2" wide frame and the 1.5" wide mat, it really overpowers the 5" picture!

I found some reasonably priced on e-bay last year. I don't think I kept the address, but I'll look later.

Your Michaels should have some "make it yourself" frames that you just pick two packages and wield your screw drivers.

Try the table top frames section; they sometimes have 'little' square frames without too many extras that would overpower the stitching. I've found square frames in the both the frame, wood, and craft sections

I can't find the company I ordered my 5" frames from, but I did find this one on e-bay and it looks like it could provide you with what you're looking for:

They do, but the shortest they have is 8", which again leaves us with a mat almost as wide as the picture.

I did find 3" squares in that section, but not 5".

This one has 5" frames listed, both in colors and in unfinished.

think I found it under crafts, cross stitch. I know, I really should have paid more attention on the off chance I might need it again. L

Looks like the Argentoand Noce frame collections have a 5x5. I've had good service fromthem. Others that popped up in a google search include:

quite a few more.Most people hunting for 5x5 frames are looking to framewedding photos, so places that cater to that sort of marketare more likely to have them. Best wishes, Ericka
