Everyone likes something for free, right?
Cross Stitch Collectibles has a monthly free fractal pattern that can be downloaded – the current one is here . The rest of the site is well worth a look, as they have some great patterns available (and the support staff are great too!)
As I come in contact with more and more international stitchers and producers I’ve noticed the different ways people create their cross stitch. I’ve always started my sewing from the middle of the design, as this ensures that you have the centre of the item at the centre of the fabric and you should end [...]
Here’s some links I’ve collected along the way the last few days.
Thought The Gift of Stitching have a novel idea, with a subscription of a $1 an issue, and you can download the magazine and print, rather than have to pay stupid amounts for it to be delivered via snail mail 8 weeks late. [...]

I made this one years ago, and is one of those that I will probably never get rid off. If I did sell it (it certainly wouldnt be free!) I wouldnt take less than 400 pounds for it. It took me ages to do!

Convinced myself today to go and take the canal trip that I’ve been promising myself for ages.
Grabbed my digital camera, only to realise the battery was dead! Darn! Shoved it into charge, then dusted off my demoted film SLR from the cupboard, put it in my newly acquired camera bag, and went [...]
Have been working hard on this WIP and here is this week’s update.
I knew I had to do some frogging on the top right hand side (about 10 o’clock) which is why i decided to go anticlockwise, and coming back to meet myself. That way I could confirm exactly how much I had [...]
When doing stitching I generally watch the television. However, there are some times in life where I recognise that tv sucks! I usually either read, or if I have a project on, do some stitching. However, if the latter, I get very bored sitting in silence for several hours, so enjoy listening [...]
Have already spent some time over at Blogher and run the risk of spending all day there if I’m not careful! So many blogs from all these creative types and I’ll just go on and on, and then wonder where the day has gone.
Have already made some progression on my current WIP (see previous [...]
Work In progress, originally uploaded by Nordie.
Not a great photograph – the item was literally pulled from the ring seconds before being shot, however, this should give some indication of my current work in progress.
I dont normally post photos of works in Progress, as I always have a fear that I might not [...]
