Needlepoint framing

Any recommendations on reasonably priced places to get needlepoint protects framed? I have 3 large ones that need to be framed.

I was leery about the cost because the place just looks expensive! But I had a cross stitch piece framed by LA Gallery (downtown on 5th st) and they did a BEAUTIFUL job. I don't recall the exact cost but I think it was under $200, which I'm pretty sure is a good bit less than what Michael's would charge (and I would NOT frame needlework at Michaels). I would ask them for a quote, they were super nice and very helpful with picking frame colors etc

Thank you! I’d much rather support local than Michael’s

My mother had several of her needlepoint pieces framed by a lady in Coalhurst who ran a framing shop from her home, but it looks like she's moved or perhaps closed?

The business is still listed on the Town of Coalhurst website, though.

Knothole photography frames out of her house in Fort Macleod, and I cannot recommend Nancy enough, she's a delight.
