New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)

Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

It has been a few years since you were working on the C2C being available, any ideas if you are getting closer?
Here are the last two cross stitch pieces I did back in 2001 thru 2002 while riding on the truck my hubby drive all over the US. Yes, I did cross stitcih these while bouncing thru many a state during the year it took me to complete them and holding my old toy poodle across my left arm as well. He wouldn't ride any other place, but luckily he wasn't very squirmy and it went well with my needlework.
I made these two for my pen pal I have known through letters since 1977. She lives in Oregon and the horse in each one I created to look like her two paints from photos I had of them I took when we got to meet her in person in 2001 for the 1st time. My hubby had a Coors beer load we picked up in Golden, Colorado we delivered to a distributor in Portland, Oregon. My pen pal lives about 30 miles from Portland in Boring, OR.
The 1st one of the paint running through a desert scene was her favorite horse. The desert scene was a pattern I bought, then created the horse with the paint pattern to match my friend's horse and cross stitched it into the scene. I also created the sky clouds to look like a horse rearing up instead of using the clouds the pattern originally had. Of course she loved that the horse was a replica of her own named Gypsy. I chose the desert scene for this horse because my friend Debbie had always wished she could have open areas to ride in instead of the heavily forested country she was raised up in around Oregon.
The 2nd pic I took a horse head pattern I bought and changed the colors to match her other paint which I can't remember the name of now. Then I took and drew on the material the pine, spruce and fir tree limbs I enbroidered to look like they were coming from above the horse head. I left the rest of the background the natural pale blue color and not stitched. I did add snow flakes you can barely see in this pic falling about since they do get a bit of snow up there. The frames you can see around the edge of both pics is also my own creation cross stitched on the material.
I stitched the edges down and fringed the material around in a natural look and used a couple of Mesquite limbs to hang each one from rather than framing. My idea was to create a very natural look for the horses to reside on. Debbi loved them both very much. Now both horses have passed on over the Rainbow Bridge frolicking with other horses and pets waiting for the day their loved ones here on earth can join them. Both of these were 12"X18" size I think. They were not small and I had to work diligently to get them finished & sent by Aug. 30th which was her birthday.
Wished the pics were better and more clear. These were taken in 2002 after I fininished both pieces and the pixels were not the best on the camera we had. I've lightened both up a bit, but that is the extent of my photo touch up I know how to do.
RoadQueen,
What website did you use?
I'm looking for basically the same thing.

Piddy,
Wow, thank you...so glad
you stopped by to share these...absolutely AMAZING! 
Both of them do
look like photos, for sure...which shows how incredible your work
is!
Was it a bit
relaxing to go from the 60 colors of floss to 6 colors of
yarn?
I still can't imagine how hard it must
have been to use 60 colors of floss. For cross stitching it's
difficult...for crochet...I can't scream loud enough at the
frustration!
I have to say, though, the
results are definitely worth it!
Can't wait to
see what you'll do next!
This one is 200 stitches across and
much too large to get into a single frame. Cross stitch over
tunisian.
