It doesn`t have to be presented as a sampler, I can work some bits around it if necessary, and do in a larger piece. Ideally I was thinking of a country companions one - I have seen b/day cads with Ed the hedgehog dressed as a footballer, I think .

Isn't CC a DMC thing? I think they have their own site - or the dreaded Willow Fabrics do them - or Tandem Cottage? I'll do a search and let you know off list.

I'm interested in this as I design my own tapestries on the computer but purely on a translating a pic into a graph basis ... tedious!! Could you tell me more about the sorts of software you referred to (and if you're looking at them let me know if any are suitable for Macs), prices etc. and what did you mean when you said: > DH did one that I sent a photo off for TIA.

I bought a send away kit, called Stitch-A-Photo from a local craft shop. I found a photograph and sent it in the enclosed envelope and the chart came back within a few days. The chart was done in a huge variety of symbols and each symbol was given a thread colour number. I had to go and buy all the individual threads, it cost about £40 for them all (initial cost of Stitch-A-Photo pack was £15) and I gave it to my DH for his birthday. I also had to buy the Aida but it wasn't expensive. The result is a wonderful heirloom for our son to have in his house one day...
