Interesting site for cross stitching-Barbara

All I can say is WOW!!!!!! I would be either dead or in a nut house before I got to far. It is intriguing, though! How great to be young LOLOL

Dear Gillian, It is fun.The colors make it easy to do.Thank you for calling me young!!!!! another interesting site is below. Also have free patterns. Barbara

I really love Solaria's stuff, but I haven't yet seen a sample of any of it finished. How do they compare?

Allura

I'm doing one of her small freebies (White Lily). She doesn't use any backstitching, and the charts are wonky (download a free one to see what I mean ... no gridlines). The overall effect on White Lily is very watercolor like, but I'm not enthralled with it, which is why I probably haven't finished yet.

You can see a WIP picture on my blog at

Allura, I made this picture below it was very nice when finished and easy to follow directions barbara

Dear Allura, Just sent you a scan of a finished free cross stitch from Solaria gallery. Barbara

I thought gobelin-style was needlepoint, from what I can tell? Tent stitch?

I love the colors she uses, but no one design has dragged me away yet.
