DIY Family Cross Stitch

I made a pattern using some old graph paper we had around and some help from Martha. These templates are amazing!!

Dig out a recent family portrait, colored pencils, and graph paper. I colored in the graph paper based on our family. I counted the graph paper boxes as I stitched this up on 14 count Aida

.

I love how it all turned out. What are your favorite cross stitch patterns?
