Mice In Boot
I found this design at
www.classic-stitch.com
I can't think of very many things more pleasing then to stitch something you love, for someone you love. And with so many wonderful designs around we have so many to choose from. It doesn't matter if you are a complete novice and have never held a needle, or an expert with years of experience, there is something allmost magical seeing a picture developing in front of you, and knowing you are the one who did it. I know I get a lot of satisfaction from not only testing my skill against a pattern, but from the look on people's faces when they see it for the first time.
One of the big problems I have is finding patterns that go with my chosen lifestyle, I love fantasy art, angels, faeries, dragons, knights in shining armour, and things of pagan origin. There are more sites than I can count for Christian patterns, but I have found very few Pagan patterns. I have lots of patterns of cute animals, trees, and am designing some now which I feel will combine my love of nature with my beliefs. Untill I get them printed out I can only give you some links to sites where I found patterns that I liked. Some of them you have to pay for, but most of them have some free for the asking.
They are in no particular order, and where available I have downloaded the picture that I really liked to give you some idea of their style. They are given full credit to where I found them if not to the actual designer, if you should be the designer and object to my placing these patterns here I will of course remove them immediately.
I hope you enjoy these sites as much as I have, and will sign my guest book and return from time to time for updates.
