Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.

Well I gave it up, going to get a lighter fabric. I hate quitting, but I found a mistake and that was that. I got very frustrated when it called for black thread, but figured I would work around that....however, the mistake I made was too much for me. It pushed me over the edge
Thank you! I have noticed that some colors stitch better than others. May must have had a winning combination!
You are welcome. Happy stitching!
You do beautiful work!
De'Andrea,
I LOVE your cross stitch work!
Your friend is soooooooooo lucky!The frameless "frames" are amazing and look perfect. How did you tack down the edges before fringing? I learned a stitch for that once, but have no idea what it was called and couldn't do that again without knowing what the stitch was and how to make it. But I'm thinking now, after seeing your work, that I have some pieces where the fringing would look great. I doubt there's enough room to cross stitch frames, but maybe a 2-cross-stitch-wide "frame" would work, or just a fringing stitch. I never framed a lot of my pieces back when I made them years ago because it was so prohibitively expensive and nobody in my area knew anything about framing cross stitch.
But I love that "natural" look, with the fringed edges.
The branches hanging down over the horse's head are unusual...and sooooo beautiful.
They add something very special to the piece!
I can see the snowflakes that are falling in front
of the horse's head...they're perfect. I also disagree with your mom about cross stitch not being creative...obviously, you've made things that are VERY creative!
I think the way you've combined things is
absolutely genius. I can't wait to see what you'll do with Chinese silk embroidery...I know it's going to be fantastic!
What kind of subject will you try for your first
piece?You have such a talent...you should think about desginging your own cross stitch pieces to sell.
(Maybe embroidery pieces, too, but I don't know
how that would work.) You're soooooooooooo talented and I can't
wait to see what you'll do next. Thank you so much for posting your
cross stitch work (and giving me the idea of what to do with those
old unframed cross stitch pieces!).
