So cute! I've been looking for a copy of this book for years.

I just want to remind everyone, that if you would like a free pattern, DM me. Any pattern.

I need test stitchers. I like designing more than I like cross stitching, but even if it was the other way around, I don't have time to stitch all of these. I can't really offer much else except for coupons and extra patterns when you're done. Perhaps a free needle minder if I happen to get back into making those.

The caveat is:

- I can't have these take forever. One - two weeks tops to finish. A couple days if it's one of my small patterns. I know my circular stained glass takes me five or six hours to finish .

Unless it's a really detailed pattern. Then I'll extend it. We can discuss.

- I'm going to need a really nice photo of the piece when it's finished. Framed or not framed. Taken as is, or artfully photographed with props and decor. It just needs good lighting, and it needs to look nice so that I can use it on social media or a listing.

And yes. I will credit you. I always do.

I may start out by doing a batch of five or 10 test stitchers. Because I don't want anyone to be sneaky and using this as a way to get a free pattern and then sneak off. We're going on the trust system here. The honor system.

Betray my trust, and you will bring dishonor upon you and your house. The Klingon high council will strip you of your house name.

I should really be promoting this more often for test stitchers. Especially when I'm in a cross stitch slump.

So, if you're interested, you can answer the poll. Or send me a DM.

Thanks!

would you be interested in a free pattern in return for being a test stitcher?

yes

no

I'm trying to put together a cross-stitch pattern with a country/western image along with a quotation. I have the quotation, but I'm having trouble finding an image I like. I'd love to find something like a classic cowboy belt buckle, but simplified. Ideally no bigger than 4 inches by 4 inches, since the quotation is supposed to be the focus. Any recommendations?

A friend told me about the Loose Ends Project and I think it sounds wonderful. I'm too new to cross-stitching to be of much help, but maybe I can dust off my crocheting skills....
