Does anyone cross stitch? To make a prop?

Hi everyone

Shawshank Redemption is a great movie and this is a prop I'm after for some time (sadly I don't cross stitch). Only found two ladies that do it but they are both too busy... :angry
If anyone used to do this kind of works would do it, pls PM (no need to mention that I only need the "needles part", the frame I have :lol)
Thanks in advance
 
If you lived in Canada I'd suggest you check out eac.ca the Embroiderers' Association of Canada which has groups of stichers across Canada.

Wherever you live do a web search for embroidery group or stitching.

You should be able to find someone that can make one for you.

Check out Etsy.com there are lots of stichers there I bet, and most are willing to do commissions.

Yeah Etsy is the place to look. I can recommend Steotch for being awesome but I don't know if they take commissions, would have the time, or would be affordable.
 
Oh, this is a prop I've been toying with for a while and hope to have something to show soon.

Thank you all others for your opinions
 
Bumping this up after wanting to do one of these myself. I ran across a website that had info on the original that was auctioned off. It also had a great close-up photo that I've posted below:

It is up for auction on December 16th ( lot #804) at profilesinhistory.com at their “DRAMA, ACTION, ROMANCE : THE HOLLYWOOD AUCTION 53
. This piece was made especially for the movie and appears to be stitched on linen and still has the framers label.

 Originally a “motto” as this is called, was stitched on the brown colored perforated paper that was so popular from 1870 to 1925.

Also found the actual auction site. Item #804 - Page 322 on the pdf:

804. hero Screen-uSed “warden’S SamPler” ProP from The
shaWshank redempTion in original Screen-uSed frame. (Castle
Rock Ent., 1994) A framed hand-crafted 31 x 19 in. sampler that reads
“His Judgment cometh and that Right Soon.” This prop (both sampler
and frame) is exactly as it appeared in the movie. It hung on the wall
of “Warden Norton’s” (Bob Gunton) office and concealed the wall safe
into which “Andy Dufresne” (Tim Robbins) would regularly stash the
warden’s ledger of illegal financial activities. This prop was handcrafted
for the film in 1993 by a local artisan in Mansfield, Ohio, where the film
was shot. The framer’s label is still attached to the back, crediting the
framing job to the Ben Franklin Frame Shop, also in Mansfield. From
the collection of director Frank Darabont. Comes with LOA. Special
shipping arrangements will apply. $800 - $1,200

I do crosstitch and there are programs that I could toy with to get a good pattern. If anyone is interested, let me know.
