How to Create Embroidery from Pictures



Crafter Dolin O'Shea of Lulu Bliss shows us how to create an embroidery pattern from a photo, in this case a photo of her cute dog Mikey. Dolin's 101 on Embroidery article is in the current issue of CRAFT:06.

Dolin and I have been friends for over 10 years now and she's one of the craftiest people I know personally. Over the years she's taught me so much about embroidery and also introduced me to the Sublime Stitching patterns by Jenny Hart back in 2000.
