Ann's Cross-Stitch Patterns.

My name is Ann. I am glad to meet you here!
I have been creating counted cross stitch patterns for myself and others for many years, and now I have the opportunity to share it with you too. I am sure you enjoy it.
My designs, patterns, and charts are carefully made for ease of working. There are almost no half stitches or blending to be done in my patterns, just full cross stitches.

Cross stitching is a meditative form of craft. Reading a pattern and counting out those tiny xes quiets my mind. Stitching takes me away to a peacefull place.
I like the whole process from choosing the cross-stitch chart, material and threads. Right through to the framing whether it's wall frame or an aperture card.

When a project is done and you look at it you get a excillerating feeling. It is a natural high.

I have been stitching for many years and I never get bored with it.
Do you ever feel the urge to be creative? To make something special with your own two hands? Something you can proudly display? To be admired by all visitors into your home?
If you do, then counted cross stitch is a great way to satisfy that urge! I guarantee that for the majority of you, if you try this craft, the creativity bug will bite; and you'll become a total cross-stitch addict - just like me!

The art or craft of cross stitch is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Easy to learn and do, 'cross stitch' is simply embroidery stitched with lots of little 'X' stitches to create a lovely design. This fun craft is sometimes referred to as 'counted cross-stitch' because the pattern and fabric require the crafter to count the number spaces to know where to place the stitches.
