AboutHenry Babcock Expertise I learned needlepoint from my grandmother over 30 years ago. I can answer most questions on the subject. I know about producing needlepoint as well as cleaning, repairing and restoring.
Question I have a 90 year old crosstich piece which is framed. The piece itself measures 10-l/2" x 12-1/2". It now has light brown areas in it. I would like to have this cleaned and reframed. It was framed, probably 30 years ago by an Art Gallery in Springfield, Massachusetts. Any information on where I might send this for cleaning and/or repairing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer Beverly,
I'm not clear on whether this is a piece of needlepoint or a piece of cross stitch. I can't make a recommendation on how to proceed until I know which type of needlework you have.
Please write back and let me know, and I will be happy to guide you to getting the job done right.
