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.

Designer Spotlight: Oh My Stitches Shop
There’s so much cute stuff at Oh My Stitches Shop I don’t even know where to start.
The first thing I saw when scrolling through Etsy that brought me to the shop was this set of month by month black cat cross stitch patterns, which would be great for cat lovers of all stripes to stitch, even if you don’t happen to have a black cat (which I do).
But when I opened their storefont the thing at the top was the amazing set of dragon cross stitch patterns, and I knew those were the ones I really needed to share, though there was plenty more I was tempted by as I scrolled through.
So first, the dragons. This set of four patterns shows dragon silhouettes with landscapes and flowers in the background. Each one is 130 by 130 stitches, which comes out to 9.05 inches or 23.59 cm on 14 count fabric. The number of colors varies from 15 to 19 depending on the design. There’s a similar set done with dinosaurs if that is more your style.
But there’s so much more fun stuff here. How about ghosts in scenes that look like Gothic brooches? Cats being abducted by aliens? Seasonal gnomes? (There’s another set of month designs with gnomes.) The shapes of US states filled in with their state flower? (Note as of this writing there are 47 listed but they aren’t in alphabetical order so I’m not sure which states are missing.)
There are cute Christmas patterns, mostly with animals, and of course a bunch of great Halloween designs. Just to name a few. There are skills and floral monograms (again not the full alphabet as I write this), landscapes and funny quotes. I think it’s likely you’ll find something you want to stitch on this site with its more than 600 options.
So don’t let me keep you! Go check out all the goodies at Oh My Stitches shop, and come back here and let me know what you’re making.

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.
