Family crests are one of my favorite types of charts. I know they will be treasured family possessions, so seeing them become stitched is amazing. This is one of those great family crests.

The war hog artwork by Joe Shawcross. I created this chart in 2014, so it’s been awhile. These projects take a long time to complete. Today though, is the day that we can reveal the stitched version.

I say this every time, but it’s so true. Getting a finish from one of my charts makes my day and makes my week, this one is a free chart which made today so special because it’s out of the blue. I don’t know when some of my custom charts will be stitched and finished. […]

This is a chart that I actually charted for myself. My husband is a forester, so I stitched this to go on his wall with his diplomas. There is a pretty major error in the stitching versus the chart. You will be able to find it. It’s my stitching not the chart. You can stitch […]
