Heaven and Earth Designs

September 10, 2007 by geri jones

I’m not sure how to describe the charts here, other than to say, you REALLY have to see them to believe them. I will say that once you stitch a HAED pattern you will probably never stitch anything else again!! They truely spoil you with their concise directions and clear charts. And my Goodness those charts!!!!!! The subject matter is so diverse and stimulating, you can quite literally spend days just browsing.  I frequently do!!!!!!!!!Be sure to look at the Premier Artists section as that features beautiful graphs by well known artists such as Amy Brown,Molly Harrison and Sue Miller to name a few. Also there are FREE patterns here and they are stunning.

    I’m glad you mentioned this! I love HAED patterns. But, I also wanted to mention the beautiful Josephine Wall patterns are simply gorgeous. I’m working on two of hers and they are simply stunning.

    God Bless

Designer Spotlight: Haunted Frames

Cute spooky and fantasy cross stitch patterns is how the designer behind Haunted Frames describes their shop, and I have to agree with them. These designs are cute and Gothic and a little bit spooky all at once. There’s a heavy focus on book themes, which you know I am a fan of, so let’s get into it. 

Stopping first in the books section, there are lots of designs that are literally on book shapes, but if you know my love of both books and cats, you’ll know I had to share the Midnight Book Cart cross stitch pattern. As the name suggests it’s a design with a witchy book cart, complete with a spiderweb, bats flying out of a book and what it describes as a ghost cat (though I would have to make a black cat instead of a white one since I have a black cat, and that fits with the vibe). 

The design is 65 by 97 stitches and is worked in 17 colors. It’s shown on 16 count fabric, which makes it 4.1 by 6.1 inches, or 10.3 by 15.4 cm. 

I also love the winter themed little free library design, which would be perfect to stitch up for the little librarian in your life (or to drop at a neighborhood book space). 

Projects with a book theme make up the majority of the patterns that are categorized in this shop, but you’ll want to scroll through all their patterns to see what else is available, since it doesn’t look like everything is in a category. You’ll find castles and dragons, more cats of course, some more obviously Halloween and Christmas themed projects and those that would suit for spooky season or any other time of year. 

If cute and dark is your aesthetic, you’ll want to check out all the patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HauntedFrames, which you can find on Etsy.
