I usually fabric-frame all my cross stitch pieces. Here are some of them. I have many more but haven't taken pictures of them yet.
edit: I love the cross stitch and hand embroidered look more than the machine embroidery and I have an embroidery machine! Something about making all those stitches by hand just gives more feeling to the project.
