MEET HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES, FINALLY FINISHED AND FRAMED !
Since it is evening, the light was not the greatest, I even tried taking it outside to take but inside was best. Sorry for the flashback, my camera will not go off flash.Sorry Heidi, I did leave the glass on this one, but I did listen to you and did not use a mat. As usual, you are right.
This view makes it look not straight in the frame, you can see by the first picture, it really is. LOL I think I would be crying if it wasn't.
Just so you can see the frame details
You can't actually see if very well, but I put my initials on the bottom, and the date in Roman Numerals since the wives had them. Now, to answer all the questions I know I am going to get, I am already knitting a sweater, started yesterday, and I have some machine embroidery to do. Thanks for all the support ongoing through this project.

Oh my mother! You are just too clever! Using Roman numerals for the date is so neat. I LOVE THAT FRAME! A fancy frame and no mat was really the best. Not only am I so proud of my little mother, I can now tell everyone that SHE is the stitcher in the family. :)
Love and hugs ~
Heidi

Hugs and stuff,

Dear Nancy
You made a wonderful piece of stitchiing. I love the colours, Henry, his wives and especially the frame. You couldn't choose a better one. Have you already started a new project?
Hugs en groetjes Elly
Wow! great job Aunt Nancy! I know you worked really hard on it and it shows!
Wow, Nancy, this is just gorgeous!! What a great finish! You stitched this in no time - it would take me years to finish such a masterpiece. The frame you chose is absolutely perfect for the theme of the picture. Congratulations!
WOW!!! Henry and the girls look fantastic and the frame is utterly perfect. Great job, Nancy!
A piece to treasure Nancy. The frame certainly compliments your work.
Wow Nancy, I can't over you! Who would have thought that was one of your first x-stitch pieces. It is amazing, beautifully stitched and framed. On top of that you did it in record time. You should be very proud of yourself. What is your next project?
I like your hair colors both ways but darker does make you look younger.
Really magnificent. I'm French and history teacher and this is exactly what I would like to have in my class. But in France, it's impossible to find such a beautiful embroIdery. Splendid and well done.
