I will try this once more. My seven year old grandson is spending the day with me. Since he was three, he always loved watching the "Big Stitch Machine" as he calls it. He now programs it, helps thread it and works on the designs with me. Today I had him draw a picture of himself, I scanned it into Embird, and he digitized his picture. We stitched it out on a hot pad for his mom. I'm sure he will be checking in to see if anyone makes a comment for him.

OH MY...You all have been so busy posting messages for Bretton. I really appreciate them all. He will be here today, and be able to read all the rest of the posts. Thank you all so much, (((HUGS))) and flowers for all from both of us.....Mary Ann & Bretton

A future 'cutie' in the making! Tell him that he did a great job and I know his Mom will love it. What a wonderful little keepsake to have of and for him! Tell him " Great Job"...Charlotte :-)

Dear Breetton, you did a very fine job on this. Good design skills. Your Mom must be a happy Mom and your Granny too. My DS (13) gives you his complements too and he loves art in school, so he knows what he is talking about.

best regards

Hey Bretton - You designed and digitized your own drawing? Wish I could do that! Keep up the good work! Kathy

wow, a future famous digitizer!!!! Thanks for posting it...congratulations for having such a talented GS....***********

Nothing like starting young! Bretton, you will be a great designer and digitizer one day, I'm sure. Well done, dear.

Wonderful!!
Should get him to put the date on it. If his mum is anything like me, I keep treasures like this forever. She will be able to look back and remember exactly when she got it, (when she's showing it to her grandson).
