    I was looking for something else and came across this site that has all sorts of things to do with quilting and computers. Being the curious person that I am I clicked on it. They tell you how to use aida cloth in your printer to print out photos that you can then cross stitch. I've always wanted to do this for a few favorite family photos but didn't want to put out the cash for the program. Now I won't have to.

    Check it out folks. I can see a whole new look for memory quilts.

    I did that years ago. I ironed freezer paper to the cloth and printed crosstitch patterns I scanned to my computer to the cloth. Printing in color same as the pattern, I didn't have to count anymore! But I was limited to the size of the paper.

    Thank you! This is wonderful! I have a long commute and do cross-stitch on the train, and was looking for my next project.
