Cross Stitchers - who are your favourite designers?

[dragonstitcher]

Me? I'm a huge Teresa Wentzler fan.

[SpookyMadMummy]

I am a Joan Elliott fan, I also love Margaret Sherry..
I am currently coveting this one by Maria von Scharrenburg (sp?) but its over £40! Its a Lanarte kit. I might just have to treat myself

I love this designer

[SpookyMadMummy]

[Enid]

you see this is why I dont do more cross stitch

I dont like any of these - sorry

I like the jolly red samplers but am a bit bored of them now

maybe tapestry would be better

[SpookyMadMummy]

Each to their own, Enid, it wouldn;t do for us all to be the same!!! What kind of red samplers do you mean?

[Miaou]

Oooh I'm just so wounded, Enid

[Dumbledior]

Miaou - is Derwentwater you? I remember you were setting up a company...I was looking at that site recently. It is on my favourites!

[Enid]

sorry miaou

actually tbh they are quiet nice

JOlly Red is a company

[SpookyMadMummy]

Oooh may have to look at their website then, Enid!

[SpookyMadMummy]

[Miaou]

lol enid, I don't mind at all!! Was just winding you up

Not all derwentwater designs are mine - only those four in fact!! Did try setting up a company to sell my designs but it just got too complicated and needed too much investment. I haven't given up on the idea entirely though. But all my designs are quite bright/bold and they don't really fit with the Derwentwater image so they haven't taken on any more, sadly.

John Clayton. I like his flower panels, landscapes, panoramas, and bird portraits - very detailed designs but with very little or no backstitch.

The ones I've really enjoyed stitching were Venice and Stonehenge, and am currently doing Owl in Flight.

[WigWamBam]

(I like your Iris window, Miaou ...)

[SpookyMadMummy]

Ooh wigwambam I did the Red Kite in flight from that collection! was a fab stitch!

[WigWamBam]

His designs usually are - I've enjoyed every stitch of the ones I've done.

I quite fancy the Kingfisher one next ...

[Miaou]

(thank you WWB, that one is my fave too )

I like this guy but I think I would only want one on my wall. I love his style though.

[WigWamBam]

Oh yes, I quite like the look of Michael Powell's designs too. He has a Venice Windows series which look good. Too much backstitch for my liking though!

[SpookyMadMummy]

well if you want a copy of the red kite pattern let me know!

[WigWamBam]

Oh, yes please ... would love one.

Can I cat you?

[WigWamBam]

What am I on ... I already have your email address, don't I

Will email you. Thanks!

[lucykate]

[SpookyMadMummy]

Hehe! no worries! Will do you a copy and hopefully get it in the mail to you tomorrow!

[lucykate]
