Here it is!! [View all]

The other day I tried to include a picture from Photobucket with a post, and didn't know how. Well, I figured it out.

This is the counted cross stitch I did quite a while ago. A friend of mine quilted it. We went to a fabric store and, honestly, the black fabric looked the best. My son and daughter-in-law would now like to hang it in their baby-to-be's room, but my d-i-l doesn't like the black between the individual pictures, and framing the whole thing. I have offered to redo do it to her tastes, but I seriously don't know what would work out better. I'm afraid that picking up a color in the thing to do the outlines and framing would make it, well-less striking. What do my fellow crafters think? What would you do with it?
