It has been over a week since my last post and frankly it was because of blogger. One day I couldn't upload pics and I haven't been able to leave comments on many blogs and I don't have my followers on the blog. I do know that I still have followers because you are still on my dashboard and I have even gained 5 in the last few days. I read on a blog (sorry I can't remember who to give the credit to) that I could leave comments if I unchecked the button that leaves me signed in. It works! I can now leave comments without any problems. On to the stitching. I picked up 13 Colonies from the framer. It came out really well. Went with a wide black frame. Close up below. You can click on the pictures for a much better view. 
Had June stretched for my pop it in and out frame.
This is a terrible picture of Betsy. We have had terrible storms today and I wasn't able to get a good shot. The fabric isn't pink like the pic shows. It is a wonderful gold color. I wanted a gold frame but frankly that was gold over kill. Went with a back frame with a row of gold beading on it.
Isn't she pretty sewing on her flag. ?!
Again, another bad pic. This is le jardin. This fabric is actually a soft pink color. The people are really cute. I will be done soon. Didn't get enough stitchy time over the holiday. Did alot of yard work and keeping the house perfect (for the viewing public) takes much time away from what I would rather be doing. Did manage to spend time with friends and have a turkey burger. Hope you all had a fun filled week end with family and had some great food.Until next time....Happy Stitching! Deborah

Your finished pieces are looking lovely. I especially like the Betsy work. Who is it by? I think I'd like to stitch that one myself!
Ohhh! How lovely!
Oh my gosh. I spent my lunch time drooling over your picture. LOVE those framed pieces. 13 Colonies is just superb - so is the frame.
Betty is simply stunning. I so want to stitch this one too (soon as I figure out to change her dress...lol)
I think the black frame suits her so very well.
June looks great as well, so does Le Jardin. Le Jardin is another piece to drool on.
The framed pieces look gorgeous! You must be dancing the Happy Dance with them!
I like le Jardin - I've never seen this one before and I like the linen too!
Awesome frame choices!
Deborah the framing is beautiful. I find it really interesting that most framing of needlework I see from the States, do not put a matting board in to 'frame' the work even more. Can't wait till I take my next piece to a framers and ask them to leave it out. Might just get a very interesting response.
Also are they under glass or left open.
Again most beautiful work. LiBBiE in Oz
Betsy and 13 Colonies look wonderful in their frames. And so does June.
Enjoy your newly started and already almost finished WIP, lol.
Although I love your finishes and le jardin, I have to congratulate you on the choice of your frames - they would be my choice too.
What nice pieces! Love the frame you went with for Betsy.
13 Colonies is lovely! And it's great to see another 'pink' girl!!!!!!
With the new granddaughter, I am knee deep in pink!
Thank you for sharing; Mimi
Wow Deborah! Everything is so beautiful. I love your frame choice for 13 Colonies.
I hope you didn't get hit by those storms yesterday.
Stay cool!
Oh wow! I love your finished (and framed or unframed)pieces! Just gorgeous! And that piece you're almost finished with -- it's so pretty! Who's the designer? I really like it! (Can I just say your painting on my box is just fine. :D Thanks again for such a wonderful wonderful prize!)
Everything looks so lovely! Great frame choices to compliment your beautiful stitches!
Gorgeous finishes! I just love 13 Colonies and Betsy.
I'll remember that tip for posting comments. I've had on and off problems there too.
They all turned out AWESOME! I can't decide which I love the most. :) I really love Betsy, but then Thirteen Colonies....oh heck, I just love them all! LOL You did a great job picking out the frames to compliment your beautiful stitching. :)
What gorgeous framed finishes, even if the colors look wonky--we get the true colors you described! Le jardin is really coming along too! Thanks for sharing! Hugs.
Your framed pieces are gorgeous.

Each and every framed piece is just lovely, Deborah! I especially adore Betsy and can't wait to start mine in July :)
Your framed and unframed pieces are gorgeous.
I love the frame choice for Thirteen Colonies, it is perfect but that is just my personal favorite all of them look great :)
Very pretty project you are working on, I look forward to seeing it finished!
Everything is looking so good! :D I think you are right about the overkill of the gold frame--good choice.
Everythig looks wonderful! Your picture of Betsy reminded me that when I was in the 7th grade I a shadow box of her for the history fair. I guess I am a sweing junkie from way back. (that was in 1975)
Your Thirteen Colonies is gorgeous! And I must get my Betsy out and start her!
Your finishes are gorgeous, Deborah! I too adore the frame on 13 colonies. I have this in the stash and must get it started, as yours is so gorgeous!
I love Betsy, the flag is so fun, and Le Jardin is just gorgeous, the colors are so pretty.
I love it all! You needle must be smokin' from all the hard work, and the results are fab!
Hugs

I've had problems with Blogger too but now it seems to be back in working order.

Thirteen Colonies looks fantastic! It feels like your framer is pretty quick. Great choice with the frame.
Deb... your finishes this week are terrific. I love the frames that you chose...very complimentary to the pieces. Betsy is adorable but 13 Colonies is just stunning!
It is so much fun to see all your great stitching. I'm glad you made it through the storms ok. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your house sells soon so you can move to the next phase.
I've been having trouble leaving comments lately too. Your finishes are gorgeous and I love the Le Jardin piece at the end of your post
Great framing and I love Le Jardin.
Look at those fabulous framed pieces!!!! WOW! I'm green with envy ;o)
Le Jardin is beautiful and I can't believe you're almost done. LOL!
I hope you weathered the bad storms in MA.
Lovely framed pieces and I love your Le Jardin.
Lovely work - and great framing too x
The framing looks wonderful!!
All your finished pieces look wonderful - great frame choices.
Oh Deborah, they're all so gorgeous! Your choice of frames for all of them is fantastic! Le Jardin looks so pretty too. Can you tell me who the designer is on this one?
Your framing is wonderful!! I love the mouldings you've chosen for them. Le Jardin is beautiful!
I've had a lot of problems with blogger, too. I open up windows to comment and they are blank no matter how many times I refresh the page, etc. My followers are just now showing up. Very frustrating!!
