No Stitch Designs
22 June 2005

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.

    I feel proud! I’ve posted. I think it’s funny that so many people feel, as I do, that they hope they’re not offending anyone by saying that they don’t like certain designs. You can’t help what you like and dislike, I wonder why we feel that way? Anyway, just an observation.

    I’ve commented. But there’s something wrong with the layout on this comments page. The left hand side of the screen has been eaten!
