A New Use For Charts

I think some of the most beautiful charts I have seen are from the blog Tantes zolder found here http://myauntsattic.web-log.nl/myauntsattic/ . The designs are so simple, just a basic cross stitch and select your own color thread. I have printed a few charts knowing I probably will not get all of them stitched in my lifetime. I started to think of other ways to use charts.


Butterflies and flowers,
they are simply to pretty to just put away, so...

I purchased an inexpensive picture frame for $2.00 at Wal-Mart

and now look what I have!

For some different looks, I may consider using different frames and using mats. I hope this gives you a knew perspective on charts!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

What a good idea. It looks great in that frame too. You are very clever.

I joked once with some online friends about some charts being so pretty that instead of stitching them we should just frame the charts. And now you did.....and they look so great!!!
