The other day, I posted about framing up my next Ecclesiastical Embroidery Design for the Easter Set pulpit fall http://blog.ecclesiasticalsewing.com/2014/08/15/all-framed-up-and-ready-to-stitch/ And I have to confess.

It took quite a while for them to arrive. So now it is time to give them a try! I have the perfect Ecclesiastical Embroidery Design just waiting to try out on the new frames.
