    Trixie Portrait

    I was inspired to make a needlework portrait of Trixie

    Here's the photo I referenced:


    The finished needlework:


    The back (for those who want to see the back of someone's work )


    It took me a month to design and stitch. Thanks sana for inspiring me!

    WOW! That is amazing! So close to the picture! I am so jealous. I can cross stitch, but I certainly can't create something like that from a picture! WOOOOOWWWWW! Great work Catnapper!

    Yes, what Pat said!

    Be sure to add your signature (name, initials, something) and date it. You can have it mounted and framed -- non glare glass is best. WOW what a unique treasure!

    BEAUTIFUL! You are very talented. That would have taken me ten years! LOL! I used to cross stitch but I'm blind as a bat now so I'm knitting instead. Great piece! Thanks for sharing!

    That's gorgeous! How long did you have to block it for to remove the bias? (one reason I prefer to do cross-stitch!)
