Stitching project of my wife Susan

Post by wjreese »

Hello! I was advised to put this project into this section, so here it is! This is a piece that is about half done at this point. It's derived from a picture of my wife, Susan. I uploaded a picture to pic2pat, and got a pattern from the photo. It's really an incredible service, and it allows you to choose the amount of colors, the size and the fabric. I'm using 20 colors on 14 count aida cloth. The finished project will be about 12"x12". I'll come back with updates as they become available!Image

Excellent to see this as a SAL -- that means we can sit here on the magic bench, drink :tea: or :coffee: and perhaps in indulge :cake: or :choc: while we cheer you on!

I forgot to ask, did you do a grid on this project or did you start in the middle?
