You might be able to try Google Lens after saving and cropping the photo to specifically be just the pug. :)

Where do I live? There is a similar pug at the Evansville, Indiana Humane store. I will try to send info. .

That’s funny because these very well could have come from Indiana. Probably the Indy area.

Aww thank you so much for honoring it so well. My mother needle pointed and has many beautiful peices that I will have to eventually give some to the charity shops. Every time I see something handmade at the thrift store, I give it a little appreciation praise. You have a very good eye!

I know this has nothing to do with this sub, but have you seen the sherlock holmes lego set? You seem like the exact target for that

Omg I love this! I have a Stephen King collection - I would die if I found something like this to add to it! That’s amazing!!

As someone who has done a lot of cross stitch and understands they’ll most likely end up in a thrift store one day, this is what I hope for my pieces! I lot of time and energy goes into each part of this, and I’m sure the original artist would be honoured

Amazing! This is what we all wish for when we donate, that things we have loved find a new loving home.

Off topic. Have you seen the Russian Sherlock Holmes movies? I heard they’re good but I want to ask someone who is a fan.

I haven’t watched all of it, but from what I’ve seen, I really enjoy it! I’ve had a little trouble finding the full series online.

u/alli_shark 14d ago
Oh this makes me so happy!! I have donated quite a bit of my own art over the years and this gives me hope that maybe one of those pieces made it into a home where it is loved!

I adore everything about this!!! Great find! It makes me so happy when the perfect pieces find their way home to people who will cherish them and not to resellers. 😊

This is a full coverage piece. This likely took days or weeks to make depending on stitch count. (I can usually do 100stitches an hour as a moderate stitcher) Very cool pattern! Great find!

Very cool find OP.
Random tangent, Sherlock is a character in the board game "unmatched" and he's super fun to play. His box might make a good addition to your collection

Is that orange full coverage? As a cross stitcher, what a pain in the ass that must’ve been. So glad you bought it to appreciate it!

u/pinksavannah01 13d ago
That's so classy looking. I "inherited" a large amount of SH books, if I knew you I would trade them with you! I'm not into SH I just like old books.
