Looks really good in that frame. I can't tell at all that it's not perfectly square so you must of done a good job of stretching it out. Looks fantastic!

That is absolutely stunning -- in fact DH who was reading the thread with me said could I please add his congratulations to mine as he thought it was a great piece of work! So here they are,
It is truly a wonderful piece and that frame does look much better than a wooden one as it blends so much better with the mat! Please let us know his reaction maybe grab a piccy of his face as he opens it?
Absolutely stunning, wonderful work!
The good thing though, is that with hubby stitching as well, he will truely appreciate the time and effort you've put into this for him.
There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE! Forget love! I'd rather fall in CHOCOLATE!

Fantastic finish and I am so happy for you that you were able to finish in time and get it framed. It really looks like the frame was made for this piece.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Wonderful!!
I'm with TB, it's great that he's done some stitching himself so will really be able to appreciate how much time & effort have gone into this. What a wonderful thing to unwrap on Christmas Day!!!
Thank you all. You're even making me tear up reading all of your wonderful comments about this. I wouldn't have had the motivation to actually get it done if it wasn't for all of you. I will definitely post his reaction, and if I can get a pic, I will.

Well, hubby just opened it a little while ago. He really likes it! Unfortunately, it wasn't a complete surprise. He picked up on the couple of slips the kids had early on in the project. Plus, he wondered why I wasn't doing much other stitching during the day. He figured he was getting a cross stitch but didn't know which one and didn't want to investigate to find out. He is very pleased with it though so I'm happy! Basically his reaction was "Oh, wow!"

Yeah, he wanted to take it to his parents' house to show every one there. I told him I had pictures of it, but he said that the pictures wouldn't do it justice.
