I gave up cross stitching many years ago because I could not find any patterns that were not cutesy, country or just not worth the time to stitch. I was ... hunting for patterns to do "one more project" when I found your site. I cannot believe it! Finally a reason to actually stitch again. Finally something with challenge and beauty that is worth the time and effort. Thank you!
