This she does superbly and had analbum ofher own ancestral needlework portraits. For best results she suggests that one use ahigh quality photograph with aplain contrasting background (dark hair against alight background, light against dark). The face must be not smaller than adime. Made from photographs sub mitted to her, she offers graph charts in three sizes -70 x80, r80 x98 and 110 x 120 stitch charts. For most effective re-' production just the face and part of the collar is included. For petts the face and upper chest. For houses the large or super size is reconroended. All are charted by computer for shades of brown. Needlepoint materials are available. Charts are reusable Nancy also works with the computer in genealogy research of her own and her husband/s lineage. She reports that she is cur rently working on Wolf(e), Graham, Evans, Mclaughlin, Essex, Chastain, OsterandWatson.
