Made my parents in cross stitch last Christmas. The design is made in CrossStitchXpress from AnntheGran.com.

WOW!!! It's amazing to see what one can do nowadays! No doubt, a tender treasure to keep for life!

Now I do say. that one turned out really nice. I have seen some photos turned into cross stitch that I never really cared for. But, this is lovely. *4U

WOW! This is amazing... I didn't know you could actually do something like this... GREAT job!

A treasured gift. This is just awesome work. I have never seen one of these. Love it. * for U

Fantastic I would love to be able to do this. It is so good. I'm going to put this on my wish list. I think your parents look wonderful. A*for U

verynice indeed ..

That's pretty awesome. Flower for u, just left click on the little orange flower while you are logged into Cute, easy as pie. :-) If the flower is grey then you have either already given a flower or you are not logged in. M

Wow, how lovely. Is this some sort of program that you purchase then scan the photo into? Hmmmmmm! *4U

I'll give everyone a flower for you who hasnt gotten one yet..when I see 0* I am compelled to put a flower there..looks nicer.. :)

Thanks :). The embroidery is approx. 19 x 14 cm, and fits the Janome B-hoop.

Your parents are obviously very special, and what a lovely way of showing that you love them. It will be a beautiful family heirloom in days to come, much better than just a photo. A flower for you gunnsan, you're very clever.

verry beautifull your parents are lucky to have a daugther like you that make this for them,verry well done

Wow, just wow! What a treasure for your family!

What a nice idea and how impressive the result. I´d like to do that, too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Wow! Beautiful!

gunnsan, what a brilliant idea! I agree with the others and know this will always be a treasue and very sentimental to you and your family. A flower for you!!!

That may just be the best thing I've ever seen embroidered.

That is just amazing. So very special! Were your parents able to see it? I'm very new at embroidery and I see all these wonderful projects. I'll NEVER get bored! Thanks for sharing. Nora in Florida.

Thanks. Yes, I forgot to add that this was one of my Christmas presents to them, so they have it now :)./Gunilla

How precious. I have never tried anything like this, is it difficult? I am unfamiliar with CrossStitchXpress. Does it take your pricture and convert to the cross stich design from something you scanned? I would love to try this. I lost both of my parent within 9 months of each other, and would love to do something like this for my siblings.

Sorry about your parents. Perhaps I can help you with the digitizing? Just don't know how to contact you./Gunilla

Thank you for your response. After seeing this I went to the site and researched the program. I recently purchased 4D prof from Viking, and found they have a program that should allow me to do this. I just have some learning to do. I have never done anything like this. You have done beautiful work.

What a treasure!
