Hey all you counted cross stitchers.  Here is a great technique for you to use (via me).  I had this jpg of a shamrock, which I totally turned into this counted cross stitch pattern using Core Draw x3.  I can do this for your pix, and will send you a pdf to print, and use as a pattern.  First five of you to purchase this shamrock pattern will be really lucky, as I will make a cross stitch pattern for you on either 12 or 14 count grid paper (better than transgraph X) for absolutely FREE (something under 6 x 6 inches please).  I am really thinking this is a great idea.   Finished piece is 4.6 x 4.9 when worked on 12 count aida cloth (and slightly smaller if worked on 14 count aida cloth.  Pdf file will be sent with pattern, and a color image of the DMC color swatchs.
