Thrors map from the hobbit (part map)


My Dad loves reading and he loves the hobbit and Lord of the Rings so I thought for his birthday this year I would stitch him up one of the maps. I got started in making the pattern and realized that it would be huge and I don't think he would want something too big on his wall so I stuck to just the top middle section of the map and viola!!! The stitching itself too only a week to do, making the pattern took a lot longer!! It's 15 inches wide by 8 inches tall, and I've used 18 count ecru aida.
If you would like the pattern just ask me, I will be happy to share.

His bdays in september so I've got a hell of a wait yet, I've just shown it my mum and see said, I quote "he's not going to like it, he's going to love it" so I'm really chuffed.
