Would you or have you designed your own cross stitch design? If you have can we see it?
Yes I have.
The thing that motivated me to begin stitching again last year was that I wanted to make Christmas presents for my family. At that time I hadn’t located very many stitching supplies in Germany and couldn’t find the patterns I was looking for online. (e.g. free and very small - I was doing fingertip towel borders … Never fear! I have located tons of free patterns online since then.)
In addition to that, I had a specific theme in mind for my step-sister; a sea theme. I was feeling creative and had some graph paper so, I designed some little motifs.
However, in the end none of these designs made it to the towel I stitched my step-sister. Instead, I designed a repeating dolphin pattern for her towel.
In addition to that, I have also designed a couple of small pieces for myself.
And finally, I have also designed some charts that I have never gotten around to stitching. Someday… someday…

I think you are a talented chart designer, Renee. Your designs aren’t large, but you do things with shading that I would never think to do. They are lots cuter than many of the designs I see in books for sale! I hope you do more of them (and share with me)!

Wow, these are great! Very impressive, and you chose great colours too each time!
