G'day all,
Just finished three "Word Art" signs.
The original idea I swiped from a pattern by "Emmitt" and I should have just used his pattern hence the title to the thread.

His pattern had 61 holes, my adaptation had 161

I Should know when to leave well enough alone by now.
I've included a snippet of Emmitt's pattern just so you can see how I made all that extra work for myself.

PS.
The Photos are pretty lousy too, but I'm just to buggered to take more.

Other than the hearts you added to the pattern, it turned out very nice. I am allergic to cutting hearts...

Nicxe work John. I guess you had some extra time on your hands you needed to fill drilling holes.

The extra time was worth it, those look really good.

Hehehehehe. I'm used to people eliminating cuts to make a pattern easier but I think this may be the first I've heard of adding them! They turned out very nicely btw.

Love the saying! Nice work on them too.

Our friends who do shows with us have a sign that says...
"Unattended children will be given lots of candy and a free puppy"

one little girl came up to her and said.."So what's this about a puppy?"
