If you have a friend with a chop saw they could cut the frame for you. Then take a router and route a little lip in the frame, then get thin plexiglass cut to fit and use window triangles to hold the plexiglass in place :wink:

what about fabric paint one and embroider the other one? Whatever I do i want to make sure that they still look great and retain the charm that drew me to them in the first place.

Thats a good idea cause I want to frame them when i am done with them anyways. I want to put them up in my living room.

You can embroider and paint too :D:D:D
You don't have to do little stitches...many of these can be done with longer stitches side by side

there are many tutes out there on how to do a "filled in" stitch for this kind of work

You could paint the flat areas of the design and embroidery the raised objects and the lines on the house's siding, for example, too.
