If your interested in trading patterns or getting some custom drawn patterns please just join my group or add me to your friends list.  Im a tattoo artist and have been drawing my own patterns now and making a few up.  Going to try to see if there are any sites out there besides this one that take hand drawn and made patterns.  I know im just a guy but i think im gettin pretty good at some of them making some for my daughters and just getting bummed that i cant find a winnie the pooh one to make for her only reason im lookin on here first is i live a piece from most of the cross stitch stores and would like to see if there is alot of people on here that would trade or just pass me some new patterns to keep me busy

Hey all just was wondering if anyone on here trades patterns im looking for anything with winnie the pooh for my daughter she collects winnie and would love to work on one for her for her birthday if anyone has one they would copy and send to me let me know i will send you money or trade for one of the over 3000 patterns that i own just let me know what our looking for and i will see if i have it would just love to get ahold of one to make for my daughter.

  hey there my name is cj and im new to this site.  I'm 36 years old and engaged to a woman that is amazing.  About 12 years ago I had a accident that really messed up both my hands and have had to have surgery on both.  Instead of doing the normal therapy on my hands my mom got me doing cross stitch and have been doing it ever since.  Most of the women that I have dated or have known laugh when they find out that a guy that looks and acts like me does cross stitch.  Well my wife to be is the one that found this page and got me started on it.  so if you want to trade patterns or ideas just join my group and we will get started working on diffrent stuff.  And please check out the photos on my page and let me know if there is anything i can do to make my work look better or ideas to change a style that im doing.  well wish's to all and keep on stitchin
