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
