In a similar vein, my mom does 'cross stiching' which apparently is the
handicraft of sewing lots of TINY little stiches all over this cloth in
different color threads until a picture emerges.  She was wondering if I could
find out about any programs which would allow her to get a photo turned into a
cross stitch pattern.

Basically, the idea is that you take a graphic, lay a grid over it, and assign
different stitch symbols for the different colors.  This resulting grid and
symbols gets printed off and can then be used as a pattern to sew pillows, tee
shirts, sweaters,etc.

The only thing for the Apple I could find was for DOS 3.3, and hi res pictures
only.  Or I could go buy an IBM and get EGA or maybe even VGA.

Sigh.  Anyone out there doing anything like this?
