Welcome to my shop! My designs are mostly cross stitch, some have specialty stitches as well, though I always include diagrams for how to do them. I typically stitch my models on higher counts of linen with silk threads, but I ALWAYS provide a DMC reference to help you in choosing alternate materials. These conversions are as accurate as I can make them - dye lots vary, it is the nature of hand dyed threads and fabrics. If you have a question about any of my designs, please feel free to message me.

I have had a large number of requests about whether my designs are compatible with the many cross stitch apps that exist. Some are, most are not. I have been reliably informed by customer that the cross stitch only versions of my designs do work in pattern keeper. Any designs containing specialty stitches will not work with pattern keeper. it does not read or recognize the stitches and displays these as blank space.

Another program I am asked about is called SAGA - I do not provide xsd files for my designs. My listings are for pdf charts only.

Playing with colours for a new design coming in July.... :D

Sum up what I do in once sentence? You're kidding me right? Okay. I design needlework.

I've been designing cross stitch and counted thread designs for a little over 7 years now, and full time for the past 3 years. For the most part, it's just me, though I have a couple of model stitchers who help me with test stitching, and a hubby who helps with packaging and shipping, and lots of friends who help me with constructive criticism. My favourite part of designing is colour selection - I have mountains of floss, fabric and beads here to help me with that, and floss tossing is just sooo much fun. At any given time, I've got 30+ new designs on the go in various stages of completion, so expect to see lots of new things coming from me in the future! :)
