Cross-stitch

Golden Kite has many gorgeous patterns adapted from works of art. They come in many levels of expertise, and use NO fractional stitches or backstitches! To see my list of favorites, click here. The banner below is part of their affiliate program. If you buy something, I get a cut! Woohoo!

One of my favorite designers is Teresa Wentzler. Here is a list of her patterns that I have.

Back when I had more disposable income, I bought quite a few Told in a Garden:Lavender & Lace pieces. Here is what I have currently.

For more fantasy-inspired patterns, check out Heaven and Earth Designs.

The Needlework FAQ is pretty comprehensive that I can tell so far.

Chatelaine designs are very pretty, but they use a lot of specialty flosses, silks, beads, crystals, etc so they're very expensive to kit.

Another company that charts works of art. Check out the entire Sistine Chapel ceiling!

Great collection of the Maurer-Stroh babies and others

Jen Funk Weber (of Funk & Weber Designs), has a great service project: the Needle & Thread! This is a great idea, and you could make bookmarks from anything, in any way. Go check it out!!
