this is a my first needlepoint project ever (and so far) that i finished last may. it took a lot of patience, and many breaks in between! the text is actually in my (late) father's hand-writing. i transferred it by scanning it into my computer, laying it out on the needlepoint on photoshop (i also scanned the needlepoint--the image in the center was already finished), cuting the words and pasting them. then i printed it and transferred it onto my fabric with carbon paper. let's just say: crazy! long! project!
