Does anyone know if there are any places were I could buy needlework of pictures from the books or of drawings that Pofessor Tolkien did? I do needlework occasionly and am looking for a new project for when I am done with the picture I am working on. Thank you.

I don't know of anything, but I'll keep my eye out for you! What kind of needlework do you do, Crosstich, Embroidery, Crewel? Just wondering, I Embroider, it's fun to meet someone else who does it because it's not practiced very often anymore. A fun project I've been thinking about is doing the banners, such as Rohan's or Gondor's. If you ever find (Or have) a picture that's large enough to look at closely, could you tell me? I'll keep a sharp lookout for pictures for you!

I believe that if you look on the LotR Costume Research page, there is a link somewhere to a site that has some LotR crosstitch patterns. You may have to dig a bit to find the link, though.
