Your Framing Stories

This item is special to me because it was a custom printed limited edition gift. I’m always satisfied with my experience at the Issaquah Museum Quality Framing and recommend their designers.

Shan Taylor

This piece is so beautiful and perfect for my wine store and tasting room (Capri Cellars).

I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out! Jessica, my designer, was very helpful in my selecting of the frame. It looks AMAZING!

Michele Saty

This is an original oil painting by Edward Kinsella, made for the May 17, 2010 issue of the New Yorker. The painting depicts me working with Stepanor dance notation in anticipation of a presentation at the Guggenheim Museum.

I’m always very happy with each item I have framed at MQF. Emma has had the perfect ideas for each unique piece I’ve brought in. Thank you!

Doug Fullington

I admired this piece for several years until it was gifted to me by the artist, Matt Smith. I am happy with the framing because the finished piece looks exactly as I was promised by the designer.

Blake Harnick

This item is special because it depicts my son as a youngster. What more need I say? My experience at the Wallingford MQF was fabulous. The provided individualized attention and the final piece turned out amazing.

Marsha Hudson

This item is special to me because it’s a gift for my husband with our marriage vows. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The final piece looks so nice – done exactly the way we talked about. I’ll definitely come back for more framing. Great Job!

Bridgett Bonte

This item is special to me because I wanted a signature piece over my sofa and I got it! I loved the creative input from my design consultant!
 

Cynthia Herzog

This piece uses elements from the only Sci Fi show I have ever liked and signed by my favorite cast. It includes the only actual used script autographed by Lou Diamond Phillips. With regards to my in-store experience, all I can say is Emma is AMAZING!
 

Jason Shackelford

We pulled in the Ganges marina and there was a gallery near by. The artist just returned from India and was so excited. She was very impressed. I love the color. It gives the piece such life, culture, and femininity of the woman’s role.
 
Our Design Consultant, Autumn was wonderful. She was passionate and pulled the favorites right away... A true artist.

Darcy Peterson

This unique piece of art was so special to me because of the artist. I knew I wanted to frame it with equal style and care, but I have no artistic vision myself. Ramon was great in providing exactly what I was looking for to enhance the artwork. He has a very professional and artistic approach to framing. It is obvious from the first second you walk in how much they respect art and how painstakingly they work to provide the proper display as a continuation of the art itself. Well done.

Jon Moma

It was always our dream to go to a World Cup. 2010 saw the first World Cup being hosted on the African continent, and with the strongest U.S. team ever fielded, we figured it was time to make it happen. It was a dream come true to go to the World Cup and now we get to relive it every time we look at this amazing work. 
 
We felt very well taken care of. The time spent helping us along with the suggestions were invaluable. This piece would not have turned out nearly as well if we went anywhere else. Thank you so much!

Schuyler Johnston

This was my father’s poster, given to my husband. I got it framed for his birthday.
 
Great, friendly service.

Anne Thompson

The artist is an old family friend who went to grade school and high school with my mother. Both the husband and wife are now deceased and the family offered for family and friends to come by and take some of the art. My wife and I are musicians so we naturally gravitated to the paintings of the musicians.
 
Our designer, Autumn, was excited to help us create the perfect wall pieces for our house. She went over the colors and decorative style of our house along with the colors of the paintings to help us have exactly what we wanted.

Peter Edwards

I got a hole-in-one at Pinehurst Golf Course while on vacation.
 
I received great design help from the staff and the shadowbox framing turned out gorgeous.

Stacy Chilberg

My boyfriend’s best friend, as well as my childhood friend, passed away in March 2011 unexpectedly, just 7 weeks shy of his first born son being born. Tim was my boyfriend’s absolute best friend - well, more like a brother. They talked about everything! When he passed away it was like a piece of my boyfriend did too. This piece will allow Tim to be a part of his life always! Every time he looks at it, he will be reminded of a few great moments they shared.
 
Service was first-class from start to finish! Ramon listened to me and used my story to portray all of the emotions of the piece. This will be with us for the rest of our lives and so will the satisfaction from my experience.

Marissa Dillard

This reminds me of my trip to Venice. The painting brings back memories of a trip that was wonderful and fun.

Stacia has always helped me select the perfect materials to frame my paintings and other prints. I wouldn’t  want to work with anyone else.

Jennifer Andersen

Marcus Hahnemann is a famed goalkeeper in Seattle Sounders' history. Derek owns one of his rare, signed jerseys -- one of only a few that Hahnemann ever threw to his fans.

Derek says, “It’s a part of Sounder history and Seattle history as well. Also, as a Sounder supporter, to have a piece of championship history is priceless to me. [MQF has] a great staff with a great respect for what you may bring in to be framed.”

Derek Pells

This was a gift from my wife. I thought she was a little crazy for buying such a nice item. I knew the frame would have to match the quality of the guitar to be displayed on my wall.
 
Stacia was extremely helpful and had an endless stream of ideas. I could not have asked for better service. I loved how it turned out.

John Harkins

We purchased this painting from the artist at Gibb’s Farm in Tanzania, Africa. It was our first trip to Africa and we were fascinated by the Maasai tribe. This painting of a ceremony was one of the artist’s favorites and we fell in love with it as well.
 
Kansas was wonderful; we tried different ideas and I was very excited with our final choices, but not nearly as excited as I was with the final results. It’s fabulous!

Sara Seubert

This is a special painting that was created by my sister-in-law’s good friend. I saw the painting and had to have it and the more I looked at it the more I loved it!
 
The staff was so helpful in providing all sorts of different options for frames to me choose the best one!
 

Carolyn Devolder

Shigeru Miyamoto is the greatest video game designer in the world. Having one of his games autographed is the centerpiece of my collection of all things video game related.

The designers were very friendly and really took the time to make sure the framing option really fit the piece and gave me the security I wanted when I sought out framing.

Aaron Doukas

This is a Steve Hanks I’ve saved for a long time…I’d say almost 30 years!  Museum Quality Framing framed 5 pieces of my artwork.

I would highly recommend June and her team at the Mill Creek store as they had outstanding workmanship and customer service.

Tim Blakeslee

My boyfriend brought this painting back from Thailand. The artist said it is an angel statue from a temple at Angkor Wat.

I am very pleased with the whole framing experience. I had fun with the design team and the final product is exactly what I envisioned. I can’t wait to place it in a special spot at home.

Needlepoint (2) "Who Knocks?" by Dora (Wilson) Lacey: This needlepoint was done by my Mother Dora (Wilson) Lacey who was Jane (Philips) Wilson’s granddaughter. Dora (Wilson) Lacey was born February 1st , 1899, in Cavalier, North Dakota, and died February 11th, 1989, in Renton, Washington. It’s the first piece of needlepoint my Mother did in a lifetime of doing beautiful needlework. She was accomplished in the fine art of needlepoint, crocheting, tatting, embroidery, knitting, and crewel work.

I feel very fortunate to have both these pieces of family history to pass down to my children.

Leigh R. Lacey

Our daughter was gifted this painting to honor her work done at a local gallery. Autumn at Laurelhurst Museum Quality Framing steered me towards this beautiful framing which highlights the work perfectly.

Many thanks!

Lisa Ravenholt

“The Anniversary” was given to me by my husband on our 30th anniversary. The small water color was purchased from an artist on the street in the Montmartreneighborhood in Paris.

Both Kansas and Jessica are gifted with art – plus personable and kind!

Janet Olin

This is a memory from all the work trips and holidays I made to Hong Kong. I appreciate all of the hand work and detail in this type of art. It is a beautiful picture showing talent and art.

Emma was great in steering me towards this warm silver frame. Nothing I would have picked on my own but definitely the perfect frame for this piece.

Naomi Horn

I love having Dennis and Museum Quality Framing in my backyard. Always eager to design and incorporate as much or as little personal preference as desired. Always eager to give discounts for repeat business. Always quick and easy dropoff and pickup. Great communication and very trustworthy. The proof is in the final product...this Damien Hirst now sits front and center in my home and I'm still not sure whether the print or the frame is more beautiful.
Thanks Dennis!
