Advice please

I have a photo of my cousins dog which I would like to get changed into a chart as I would like to stitch it for him for his 60th birthday. Can anyone recommend where I could get it done, I have looked in CS magazines etc but would prefer to use one that has been recommended.
Thanks

im sure you could either scan it into a xs program and chart it your self or maybe one of these lovely ladies would do it for you

Thanks for that but I do not have a XS program for comp it's on my wish list, having said that I do not have a computer at present, I have to borrow hubbys laptop and four of us are sharing it so it's not very easy getting to use it. Do some of these lovely ladies on this forum do that sort of thing then

I've got a program to convert pictures to charts, it's how I got my willow tree chart, and I'd be happy to help if you could scan the picture and email it to me

There is an ebay store that provides that service. It's called Custom Cross Stitch Kit. You can either purchase an entire kit or you can just get the pattern. I'm guessing they use one of those pattern programs.

Here's a link if you're interested
