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.

That's really cool! Have you given it to him yet for his birthday? I'm sure he will love it!
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.

Your dad will be SO happy!
