I am a Needlesmith - Cross Stitch Pattern  Click Picture to Zoom

from on 12/19/2019 - easy and fast, cute legend
This worked up fast I finished it in a couple of weeks. And I found no errors in the pattern. I picked it out of many patterns I have to do, because of the "I am a needlesmith" legend, and because with 30 count fabric it would fit in an 8 X 10 frame, and I wouldn't have to have it custom framed. You have to appreciate a designer who designs with her consumers and their framing needs in mind. Also it used regular DMC thread, rather than dozens of expensive hand dyed flosses. I'm a bit of a floss snob, and while I have been buying and using overdyed flosses for decades, I really am tired of designers who insist on pushing them on purchasers of their patterns -- so it was nice to find a designer who doesn't require that nonsense. On the cons, I would have liked a border around the design - it makes it so much easier to count to have some kind of patterned border around the edge. And it was kind of annoying that to fit in an 8 X 10 frame I had to buy 30 count linen - I have tons of linen, 28, 32, 36, even 40, but no 30, so that had to be a special purchase. But this is a very classic piece, and I enjoyed doing it. I've also purchased other designs from by the bay, but this is the first I've done. Good design, good designer, beautiful and economical in its execution. Recommended.
