This is a stitched photo of my sister and myself. This was my gift for her this year. The design took about 8 hours to stitch with 7 colors using an 8x8 hoop.

Beautiful keepsake. Did you digitize it yourself? Well done worth the time spent stitching.

I did the digitizing. However, there is a lady on ETSY who digitizes photos if you would like to have it done.

Wow! Carol, I've got a picture that looks very similar of my sister when we were little like this one. I was the dark one and Jewls the blonde! Great job and your sister will absolutely love and cherish this, especially as it took so long to do. Fabulous! Love Chris

Wonderful job... I wish my photo program (Singer) would do this nicely, but it doesn't, it is not a brother or one of the better programs. What program or machine did you use?
