That is just gorgeous. What an incredible gift!

that is beautiful! what a thoughtful and sweet gift!

Beautiful work Anne. I used to be an avid cross stitcher too and know that you put a lot of work into that.

It's also a good example of what a rare and wonderful forum this is. On what other forum would one member put that much time and effort into a gift for another? You guys are wonderful. I'm getting all misty eyed. Better hurry to another thread. No crying at work.

It is such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Anne is such a sweet and caring person.

Oh Jenny, that is lovely. How lovely of you Ann

That is an awesome gift!!!! Is there a program that creates a cross stitch pattern from a photo??? That would be a great project to work on.

That is a very lovely gift! One needn't even be aware of the sentimental value to appreciate the work -- but how very thoughtful it is!

Jenny, that's such a terrific "labor of love" on Anne's part, which I know you'll treasure! I'm currently sitting in our living room under an embroidered portrait of our long-departed, and still terribly missed, Boxer, Fritz. Give Napoleon a place of honor in your home, where visitors can admire him, and Anne's handicraft.

That is absolutely gorgeous, and very thoughtful.

Don't worry - I will hang it where it will be seen. I don't have any pictures up yet, as I have not yet really got the furniture into its final positions in most rooms!

That is beautiful and a very thoughtful gift of love.

Absolutely beautiful! Just look at all the love that went into each stitch, such a wonderful show of caring and kindness!
