Very nice! Well done :)

I would love to stitch my cats and dog. Do you have a computer program to design your own patterns?

It's lovely, Rita, well done! A wonderful keepsake of your dog. I have a chart of my own dog that I intend to stitch at some point before too long.

I'd love to see pictures of your progress on the horse.

A lovely keepsake, and very brave to tackle something so big and complax when you hadn't been stitching long!

What a wonderful idea - and a great looking project.
I'm tempted to try something similar with our old labrador (RIP) :thinks:
