Photo stitch

Q

I have always used

DMC Stitch-A-Photo

but it seems that service is

no longer available. Can

you recommend another

company to convert my

photos into charts?

Request a design and our resident design

expert, Jenny, might just chart it for you...

So good they named it twice

Did you know that the scientific name of this

wild American buffalo is actually ‘bison bison’?

American Buffalo key

Q

Hi Jenny, I love the
American buffalo and
would love it if you could
create one for me. Thank
you so much.
Stacey Mitchell,
Indiana, USA

Jenny: Before I created
your design, I did some
research about the American
buffalo to get an idea of its
size. It’s a huge beast, up to
200cm in height and weighing
more than 900kg, but can run
at speeds of 60km per hour!
I tried to capture some of its
powerful magnificence here.

Q

I found an amazing

pattern from WOXS issue

193 – Maria Diaz’s London

collage. How can I get hold of

this pattern, please?
