I have a feeling it will take me a while but I am definitely going to do it all by hand :-) I am more confindent with my cross stitch than I am my embroidery which is why I am leaning towards that.

I am able to use photoshop and design things that I then print directly onto fabric and just go over with thread. At least I am hoping to do the last part :-)

I've seen them at ALCO/Duckwalls. Finding an ALCO may be the hardest part.
