I got the Deaf Bastard stitching professionally framed, and my God, it looks. . . amazing.
I don't think I've mentioned this, but one of my main reasons for stitching that quote was so I could eventually send it to the author. After the project was finished, I was too nervous to actually ask him if I could send it - I didn't want to sound like a creeper! Sending fanmail is something I have never done before, and how to ask was foreign to me.
So I was thrilled when he said he'd be honored - and that he'd post it above his desk! After John Marco gets the finished thing, I'll post a picture of the framed stitch.
Let me tell you though, it'll be hard to let this beauty leave my hands!
