Congratulations to all of our clients who once again won several ribbons at the Minnesota State Fair Creative Activities Building! We’re especially excited to celebrate this incredible counted cross stitch project, “The Little Cake Shop,” which won THREE ribbons! 🧵🏆
🥇 1st Place — Counted Cross Stitch, Framed, over 200 sq. inches
🏆 Sweepstakes Ribbon — All Counted Cross Stitch Classes
🏆 Sweepstakes Ribbon — St. Paul Needlework Guild of Minnesota, Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America
And there’s an incredible story behind this award-winning needlework. 🧵 “The Little Cake Shop” took 10 YEARS to stitch.
When you invest that much time and craftsmanship into a piece of needlework, the custom framing needs to be just as exceptional. For this client, Frames to You, Inc. is the only place she trusts to frame her stitched masterpieces.
To create a frame worthy of the work, we went all out:
🧁 Searched for the perfect cupcake Washi tape
🪵 Had the frame custom milled specifically for the piece
🎨 Color-matched and hand-painted frame
🧵 Added a hand-wrapped linen mat
✨ Finished it with a coordinating fillet
The result? A custom-framed counted cross stitch piece that feels like the perfect finishing touch to ten years of dedication. That’s the magic of custom framing. ✨
At Frames to You, Inc., we believe exceptional needlework deserves exceptional framing. Whether it’s counted cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, or another treasured textile, we can create a custom framing design that makes your hard work shine.
