No Stitch Designs

Hot off the heels of asking if there are any designers you stitch just to say you have stitched one of his/her designs, comes a great question from Cathy and that is:

Are there any types of designs that you won’t stitch?

As a matter of fact, yes there are. I am Agnostic and will not stitch any religious design (with the exception of “Noah’s Ark,” but only because I love the story.)

As a general rule I don’t celebrate Christmas, so I don’t typically stitch designs with a Christmas theme either. (Even though I did recently buy that “Patchwork Santa.”)

I am not too fond of “LizzieKate-type” designs and in most cases I would refuse to stitch them. I find them rather simplistic and feel like I could design them myself if I wanted to. I also don’t really care for the style or amount of writing on them. However, if I ever come across one that I liked, I would stitch it.

I think that is about it though. If this question had been asked at this time last year, in addition to the above answers I would have replied that I don’t stitch anything with a finished size larger than 5″x7″, but that has changed and I am glad! There are so many beautiful large designs out there that I think I was really limiting myself.

A Quick Post

Since I last posted I have had some major blog issues. Most of the problems are behind the scenes, so you probably haven’t noticed much difference except that layout is different. (This is temporary.)

Though I am still in the process of ironing out these issues, I have managed to get a good start on Maggie. After nine hours, her bodice and arms are done. I will be giving her a head next. I will try to post a progress picture soon, but meanwhile you can see my progress on Maggie in my gallery.
