St Nicholas Joins His Fellow Bishops

Here's St Nicholas framed and hanging out with his fellow bishops.  If you see any dust just remember it is a protective covering.

I found the frame after looking at & measuring about 50 at the thrift store that has a large selection.  Most that looked right were 11 x 14 inches and I needed it narrower than that.  I finally found this one I thought would be too plain, but I really like how it lets the colors in the embroidery stand out.  It's vintage too which I always like.

I'm taking the rest of this week off from stitching while my shoulder continues to heal.  Not sure what I did but I am thinking it may be a pinched nerve.  Ice bags and aspirin and not reaching forward help a lot, but hard to do at work.  At least it's my left shoulder.

My next UFO project is likely the St John needlepainting.

I absolutely love your stitchery and frame! The frame color looks like it matches St. Nicholas' halo! Great collection!
