![]() Welcome to my Cross Stitching web pages. I hope that these pages can become a web-based record of my stitching exploits, challenges and acquaintences. You might like to start browsing through these pages by checking my Stitching Diary, or Works-In-Progress pages. Alternatively, there is a year by year (I can't believe that I've been stitching for twelve years now) breakdown of everything I have stitched so far: 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 | 1999 Wow - a four year break! But now I've started stitching again. My latest Finish: This is a Jill Gordon design which was published in a book called "Cross Stitch Pictures". I have also seen it featured in one of the Stitching Magazines. My Favourite Designers Margaret Sherry
In October 2003 Cross Stitcher gave away another freebie - this time a 15 month calendar of Margaret's designs this time featuring farm animals, hedgehogs, mice, bunnies and of course a few more cats. This Calendar was called "Country Friends". Petra, my friend from the online groups, stitched the first cat in this calendar, Scaredy Cat which is a cat in a pumpkin patch. Petra sent a picture of her stitching, together with her own cat posing next to it and it got printed in Cross Stitcher Magazine too. For more information about Margaret Sherry, please see this page or my Margaret Sherry Gallery. Teresa Wentzler
Teresa has her own website and bulletin board:
In my stash, I have Teresa's Egyptian Sampler and Tapestry Cat and a miniture of the famous Castle design to stitch. Can't wait to start any of these, but I must finish off some of my other UFO's first!!
I fell in love with Pam Kellogg's Cats in Hats designs which are freebies, which I stitched in a RR with family members last year. I also purchased "Victoria" in the series because it looks like my own Chinchilla Persian, Dyson. However, Dyson is a very stuffy and over-opinionated cat and he'd rather be seen dead than wear a big hat with a feather. I guess this just adds to the appeal of the design. Pamela has her own website and bulletin board At the moment I'm participating in a Stitching Blogger's Round Robin, and the theme I've chosen for my piece is more cats in hats. Charles Wysocki Finally, I name the illustrator Charles Wysocki among my favourites. I'm currently stitching "Too Pooped" (when I get the chance) and have "Frederick the Literate" in my stash. On my wish list are his other two cat-designs, Maggie the Messmaker and Max in the Ardrinocks. Sadly Charles passed away in 2002, so there'll be no more cat designs.
