Question about frames [quick update] (lemmy.world)

I want to frame that Totoro stitch and my wife would really prefer a round frame. I don't really want to use just a hoop but have had trouble finding round frames in a 12-14" size that seem nice/decent quality. Anybody have any recommendations?

update:

So my wife found a round record album display case that was 12". It had a couple little quirks, but ended up working pretty well. The trouble was nobody really frames round objects. We ended up taking it to a Michaels and they did it, but there were definitely a couple hiccups in the process. (They tossed the back of the frame and just papered over it once they had the stitch in place. Mostly because they didn't pay attention when we said there was a lip in there they needed to take into account because it was meant to display a record... Oh well)

From the front it looks pretty great and we have it up on the wall now and I am pretending the back is fine. Heh.

Right?! So weird. My wife hit the local thrift place with no luck too. 😂
