Some people put their favorite photo into "a cross stitch pattern program" like PCStitch or transfer it "using their computer screen as
a light box" onto graph paper and then use a block of fabric for each stitch color that is represented.
You can make a very real representation of a personal photo and a design that is completely your own. Several sites have ways to help
you decide how much fabric to buy from your stash and LQS.

To enlarge: Size you want = 12" and Current size = 4"
12/4=3 (answer times 100 = 300%)
To reduce: Size you want = 7" and Current size = 12"
7/12=.58 (answer times 100 = 58%)
