Fall Trees Framed, Quilt Repairs and Placemats from The Cozy Quilter

I picked up my Fall Trees cross stitch from the framer this week. I'm really pleased how the orange frame looks with these colourful trees. It is now hanging in our living room. I didn't even pick up my cross stitch this past week but hope to add some stitches this coming week.
