This is lovely work. Did you use a computer program to get a pattern from the picture?

Buckskin, Yes I used Pe-design software, the software is getting quite outdated now, it only does the basics but it does allow me to have an image in the background so I can trace and fill in. the colours are not always accurate when I convert to the various formats so I normaly have a photo so I can reproduce the colors more accurately when I am testing the finished work.

Thanks I am thinking of trying some more personal images rather than the usual mass marketed patterns.

What is the name of the software? Do you know of a software site? I would like to do some of my Prairie birds with my horses.

buckskin, the embroidery software is pe-design 3 for the brother machines. I also use Embird to do the conversions, I still havn't figured that one out to do any editing. The cross stitch software is by dp designs that one will convert photos and they do cross stitch for the machine which works in conjunction with embird. Hope this helps. But if you can't get any that is suitable email me a photo and I can have a go..
