Dad's Flower Pot - updated 6/26 page #2 done
I've been thinking about what to do for my Dad since I'm stitching up a large project for my Mom. My Dad loves photography and now that he's retired he's doing it full time. He's won a bunch of awards for it to. I asked him to pick his favorite picture and I would have it made into a custom chart and stitch it for him. This is the picture he decided on: (I think he's trying to torture me with all the confetti stitches).
25ct DMC Magic Guide Evenweave 1x1 full stitches
This is what I've done so far (top half of page 1):
I had HAED make the pattern because I had to sit through a 20 minute lecture on aspect ratio and how it can mess up a photo if not done right before he would even send me the photo. He's a perfectionist and I wanted to make sure he'd be happy with it. He doesn't want to see it until It's done but he said if dies before it's done he wants me to put whatever I've got done in his coffin.

Re: Dad's Flower Pot - custom HAED
He's started up a website with some of his photos and he keeps adding more all the time. You can even order of print of any of them. This wouldn't have been the one I picked for him but it was his choice. His website is http://www.asiseeitimages.com" target="_blank if anyone wants to take a look. (As I See It Images)
