Many stitchers are referred to us by the Local Needlework Shop (LNS) Acorns and Threads that is located in the Raleigh Hills neighborhood of Portland. They bring us beautiful hand stitched needlepoint pieces to be blocked and hand stretched. These two were stretched over quilt batting to give them a more three dimensional puffy look. We added single mats and then lifted the Museum Glass with spacers to not squish the stitching.
