Brief intro and searching for The Bird Perch X-stitch pattern

Hi all,

I used to frequent the rec.arts.textiles.needlework USENET group in the bad old days of the late 90s. Learned a lot. Improved my skills a lot. Lived i n Northern Virginia at the time. Now I'm in Kansas. I'm one of those relati vely rare male stitchers. I'm not too proud to stitch on an airplane, thoug h. Flight attendants and some passengers (always female) remark on my word. Other guys avert their eyes. Bully for them.

My wife is pining for me to find and stitch "The Bird Perch," which is a pa inting by Hector Giacomelli.

  1. Has anyone come across such a pattern?
  2. Any suggestions of how/where to search? I'm not getting far with straigh t-up Google.
  3. Are the programs that turn photos into patterns any good? Because that c ould be a last-ditch "solution": get a print, and turn it into a pattern.

We both would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

--Danny

You could try eBay. If you put the terms in the Watch list, if it ever comes up for sale you'd be notified. You might have to re-list it every

3 months.

Another option is to post to rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace and see if you get any response there.

HTH!

Hi Danny,

I have a pattern that came as a kit that says: "Lanarte life style collection" but doesn't seem to have a name. the design is by Marjolein Bastin and there are 14 birds on a feeding tray. I have this completed but don't have framed yet. its 27 1/4" X 7". The number on it is: 34287.

I just posted a picture of it to the Yahoo group RCTNP, album is Rich's Stitches.

Rich, Sounds interesting. Can you give me a tip on how to find the pictures you refer to? Is it similar to Google Groups or something? Thanks.
