We're Still Havin' Fun Anniversary Cross Stitch
My in-laws will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year. Does anyone have any opinions on whether or not they think it would be easy to convert the "25" to "50" on this piece?

Easy? No..Possible? Yes!.I have seen many anniversary patterns, since we had our 40th this last year. If you do an internet search for 50th annivesary cross stotch patterns, you can find some lovely ones.
If you have graph paper, this pattern and experience stitching, this can be changed. Just be sure that you have the time to not only stitch it, frame it, but also the time to alter it.

I am not an employee of ECS, just a stitcher here on this chat group. Many other stitchers will.chime in, I am sure!

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I guess "easy" wasn't the right word choice! I was just thinking the 5 could be scooted over to go over the first heart, but the difficult part would be figuring out a zero that looked like it "fit" with the pattern.
Their anniversary is in November and the one thing that attracted me to this pattern was that it looked fairly small and hopefully I would be able to finish it. I'll do that internet search though and see what else is out there!
Thank you!

I have projects that I want to change the size on as well. I have a cross stitch pattern DVD that lets me import the image so I can make it bigger or smaller. This could be an option. Sorry I'm not much help. Hopefully someone has a better idea!

I would check alphabets that you have in book and charts and replace both the 5 and 0 in the appropriate font and size.

GOOGLE search cross stitch alphabets

Pinterest search cross stitch alphabets

Contact the designer. It is possible that graphs for other numbers are included in the pattern.

You all aren't going to believe this! I took Nancye G.'s advice and contacted the company and they sent me a pdf file of a pattern they had worked out for another customer with the "50"! Talk about great customer service! I'm still amazed!

Thank you for all the tips and suggestions!
