Girlfriends Cross Stitch project finished

[GR8racingfool]

Guess I never showed the finished end result. I had a guy email me from clubgp asking for the pictures because they don't work in that old thread for some reason. I had them all still, but never took the finished framed result.

So, here ya go:
The 12 pages of "code"

a close up of the "code"

Each symbol reflects on what color thread to use, and each little square gets an X of thread, hints the name cross stitch.

the work begins:

Framed up:

I think she did a truly awesome job on it! No way in hell would I be able to have the time or patience to do tedious work like that.

Geeesh, I remember this. She must really love you. That is an awesome thing. I think for the diehard fans, she could probably make some money doing that. I dont think I have ever seen anything like that.

 

[Rocket468]

My wife loves me but i dont' think see would for me.

 

[fst]

awesome work she did. you're lucky

 

[rynoman03]

That thing is truly awesome. Would love to see it in person sometime.

 

[Andrew_99GTP]

WOW that looks pretty damn good. I think I could get my g/f to do that but it would cost me.

 

[LowlyfeGTP]

Damn Farns! I followed that, but it's been so long I forgot it was even your car. Nothing like that in my future from my wife.

 

[GTPluv]

That is amazing! I would pay to have that done.
Thats either love or guilt. Jk! Bring it to Branson!!!

 

[GR8racingfool]

Bring it to Branson!!!

Might have last year if I was unable to figure out my cars electrical problem. I would of set it up in a empty parking spot. But with the help of everyone who helped, got it fixed and amazingly all back together before the event.

Oh yeah, well you better snag her up then. Maybe we need to put a bug in her ear?

 

[Chleby]

Getting kinda old hearing that from friends and family.

I don't want to get married or have any intentions of getting married. If she does, thats on her.

[GR8racingfool]

THat's cool...how long did it take her to do that?

About 12-13 months. She was averaging about 2 of the 12 pages a month.

is that a carbon fiber matte in the frame? Nice work by the way. How big is it in the end?

Off topic: What was the electrical problem Jason? I know you had me stumped. I'm curious what it ended up being...

 

[Zef_66]

Very Nice Jason! I love it. She does great work!

My wife, who is an avid crafter, wants to know how long this project took. She already has the program to transfer a pic to a pattern. Just needing to know a time line of how long it took.

 

[TyroElite]

About 12-13 months. She was averaging about 2 of the 12 pages a month.
