That is lovely Heather

This is amazing

Thanks for the lovely comments and the tip on how to change the subject :) I'm going to try to get the band to sign it when I next go to a gig. I thought I'd buy a frame before then and mark where it will go so they can sign inside the frame. I wanted to do something that's really challenging and co...

Thanks Vanessanjf

It's funny, I feel strangely emotional! This is the first thing I've ever actually finished.

Ordered my first HAED on Friday but it's going to take 3 weeks to arrive so I'll be twiddling my thumbs till then!

Apologies for duplicate posting but I can't remember how to amend the topic subject! It's taken 2 years & 3 months but it's finally finished :) http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/423722_10151230921088753_848357092_n.jpg http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181296_101512309210...

I've finally finished it. It's taken 2 years & 3 months and I've loved every minute of it

Just about half way through now and I'm loving this project so much! For free software, I think it's done a pretty good job of interpreting the original photo. It has pixillated Thommo's suit a bit but it's still turning out OK. The detail is amazing and the colours in the big doors are beautiful. T...

Thanks Ali-Cat. I just thought I’d add a bit of background to why I’m doing this project. Of course, I loved Madness back in the 80s but I never got to see them. Then, on New Year’s Eve 2007, they were on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny and I thought they were brilliant so I decided I’d go to one of thei...

That is stunning

Lovely design and great start, I'll look forward to see it's progression

That is absolutely beautiful

Thanks, all of you, for your lovely comments :) Cockneystitcher - the chart came out at 68 colours, some of the variations are very slight though. I've been looking through some of the other SAL's and the work being done by people on here is absolutely amazing :applesauce: :applesauce: Page 2 is com...

Hi Nina

The programme I'm using is a free download, which I found in the Tips and Tricks section. At the moment, it seems to be interpreting the colours OK and I'm really impressed with the detail considering it's free software

This is my first attempt at converting a photo to a chart. I didn't muck around with the chart at all. With hindsight, I could've taken a bit of the background out, but I actually quite like the doors of that old building. I'm a huge fan of Madness so I'm really enjoying doing this project :) Anyway...

Just to answer a few questions, the size in stitches is 318h and 231w (I think - I'm at work at the moment, I'll have to check later). I'm doing it on 18 count Aida so the fabric I got is 30" x 20" so plenty big enough. I have got another Dimensions Gold kit going and only got about a thir...
