I had found a pattern for a female karate participant that would have been ideal for my purposes. Sadly, the pattern is no longer available from Corner Judge Martial Arts. The person there said it was from a designer named Denise (Denise's Designs) but she thought they were no longer in business. Does anyone have this pattern they would be willing to sell me, or does anyone know who Denise might be? The figure is in a "kicking" position (don't know the proper term). She is a realistic portrayal, not "cartoonish." On the website where I found her I believe she was depicted as having auburn hair in a ponytail. TIA jbeth

According to
the contact details are: Denise DeRusha Designs
6170 Indian Paint Rd. Aubrey, TX 76227 940-365-9188And there's a list of retailers at
(Hope I'm doing this correctly) Thanks for the information--however, I think this is not the "Denise" I am seeking. Denise DeRusha seems to be designing painted canvases for needlepoint, not cross-stitch and not the realistic style of the karate woman.
Many designers do more than one thing. Cross stitch and needlepoint patterns relate easily to each other, I have used cross stitch patterns sometimes for needlepoint. Also sometimes perhaps a designer will do things like the karate woman for a specific person, maybe her own child, though her leaning is not in that genre at all in the normal way. Why not email and check it out ?
I agree - it is worth asking. If it isn't her, she might know who the designer is.
