NEEDLEWORK TRADITIONALLY FRAMED

ABOUT US

We are a husband and wife team (Barry & Elaine Leech); offering a bespoke picture framing service from our home based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. We started our framing business in January 2002; shortly after Ester Tan, (the picture framer that Elaine and her cross-stitch friends had used for 10 years), sold her business.

Elaine and her friends tried other local picture framers, but they did not produce the same quality of work as Ester. Elaine suggested that we should start our own picture framing business, that specialised in framing needlework to conservation standards. We purchased the necessary framing equipment and our business was born. Creative Framing Milton Keynes

Our speciality is traditionally framing needlework to conservation standards, (CROSS-STITCH, BLACKWORK, TAPESTRIES, EMBROIDERIES, HARDHANGER, STUMPWORK, etc).

We also frame PRINTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, PAINTINGS, SPORTS SHIRTS, MEDALS, CERTIFICATES, 3-D ITEMS and all WORKS OF ART to your individual taste and requirements.

Elaine has been a cross-stitch addict herself for over 16 years now and traditionally stretches and laces all the needlework before it is framed. She knows only too well how many hours can be spent on creating these works of art, and treats each one as if it were her own. Your needlework will be stretched onto an acid free backing board and laced with cotton. We do not use any glues or self-adhesive tapes in the stretching process.

The following needlework shops recommend us to their customers, to frame their work to the highest standards; The Country Cross-Stitcher (in Woburn), Threads and Patches (in Fenny Stratford), Tudor Rose Patchwork (in Oakley, Bedford), and HCS Crafts (in Stony Stratford). Our customers are repeatedly telling us that we have been highly recommended by these shops to frame their needlework.

We have a workshop set up at home, and because our overheads are kept to a minimum we can offer very competitive prices compared to High Street Framing shops. We have an extensive range of frame mouldings and mountboard colours to choose from, and we can offer expert advice (if required) on the selection of frame mouldings and mountboard colours to complement your work.

We also offer a selection of sculptured corners on the mountboard apertures (instead of the usual square cut corners); this service is not offered by most framing shops.
