My biggest Cross Stitch Yet

Hey guys

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I wanted to show you guys a cross stitch I did.

I designed the pattern myself (I have DMC cross stitch pattern maker software) I choose a picture of Zac from Hanson from 1997, Hanson are my favourite band and have been for the last 12 years, and I thought why not combine two of my passions, and decided to go for it and make a cross stitch of Zac.

It took me 9 months to do and has 16,000+ stitches in it, its the biggest project I have ever done.

I have been stitching since December 2007.

LOL thanks

I am very pleased with the way its turned out

I have the patterns made for his two brothers Taylor and Isaac, and once they are stitched I want to get them all mounted in the same frame but with seperate mounts in them? if that makes sense lol

Wow, you have real staying power. I stitch but can only manage smaller designs as I get bored. I love what you've done, the shading is amazing!!!

Thank You

Well I have been a massive massive massive Hanson fan since 1997, I have seen them live over 20 times and followed them all over the world to see them (the latest concert being in Miami, Florida, I am from the North East of England)

I have met the guys quite a few time as well, I am honestly a massive fan lol

So I thought why not see if I can stitch a Hanson lol so I decided on this Zac pic which was already black and white as it only required 15 colours, with this picture being the first cross stitch pattern I had ever made I decided to start with a easy one lol

So now I know the pattern maker is good lol I am going to stitch more self made patterns

Thank you very much, he is the biggest I have ever done, I have only ever done little cards and things before.

I did stitch the snowman and father christmas for my mother for christmas this year, they were the next biggest ones I have done

And I am doing one at the minute called Max Moon which is quite big

That is so brilliant :T
I only started this year and that was just a small tea-cup to turn into a coaster. Don't think I could ever tackle anything as big as that........well done:T
