That is just beautiful! You have a real gift, a real talent.

Wow!!! It's gorgeous and so life like looking. You sure are a talented woman. Please let us know how you made your own pattern. I used to love to cross stitch.

but that you can translate it freehand into needlework impresses me very much.

Me too!! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone

I did cheat a little.... I have a program that imports photos and turns them into patterns (I've had it for years and am shocked Vista doesn't have compatibility issues with it!)

However, I still spent a week editing the imported photo. The imported photo was a lot smoother but had a million colors to use and washed out all of his gorgeous brown. I had to edit it so the stitches made sense when stitched (if that makes sense?)

I am counting the stiches though, and believe me, I have gotten soooo lost a hundred times over on the forehead with all the blend of grey and tan.

I can't wait to start on the next ones!

That is really great that a program can do that for you. I know my mom would love that. She does cross-stiching as well.

[krazyaboutkatz]

What is the program called and where could I buy something like this? I'm very interested to try this out myself.

My wife does cross-stich, I did many years ago, She is known as the cross-stich lady at the hobby shows.
Beautiful work. I can't wait to see the finnish.
