I decided to go with Aubergine for the frame. It really brings out the dark purple stitches in Purple Garden.
I was getting peturbed at the Logan point driver. This is the only the third time I've used it. The first two times, it worked just fine. This time it wouldn't shoot the points consistently, and they kept getting jammed. After spending an hour trying to get the thing to work, I looked online for help. According to some reviews, I found out this is a known problem. I've contacted Logan and they are sending me a replacement (I have to send my faulty one to them at their cost). It should be here by the end of this week. I'll reserve my opinion of the product until after I use the replacement a few times.Despite my framing "issues", I am really pleased with the final result:
Designer: Angie SB, from Argentina
Fabric: 28ct Charles Craft Dusty Rose Monoco

As I mentioned in a previous post, I plan on hanging Purple Garden in my bedroom. Out of all the rooms in my house, I think it fits with the decor best in that room.

Fantastic job on the framing. I wish I could frame my own stuff. I just can't get it centered correctly or pulled tight enough.
Yes, I like the Aubergine for this as well. Great job.
The frame is just perfect for Purple garden. This would be perfect for your bedroom decor as you said. Simply love your bed cover. So elegant :)

Blossom Splendor is GORGEOUS!!!! I also love the framing job you did with Purple Garden. It is just stunning. Good luck with the new point driver. By the way, how do you do the backs of your stitched pieces when framing them? Do you use the lace method? Or do you do something else? Just curious.
