cross stitch help

[happybunny]

Hi Gang!

I was thinking about doing some crafty pressies for Christmas. One of my grandma's friends gave me some binka (cross-stitch material) and was wondering if any of you could give me some websites that has free patterns for beginners. I was thinking of doing some bookmarks and a picture for my new lil cuz, Corey...

Any ideas??? huh? huh?

ta very much

I regularly go to this site as I am a member and get a weekly newsletter with free charts, you have to join to download them but it is worth it.
Cross Stitching.com - cross stitch, free stitching charts, cross-stitch magazines, tutorials, buyers guides and more

Some of the magazines are good for little things especially at this time of year I will have a look and see what I have got in my spare room as I dont do it any more although my daughter does sometimes. I have loads of stuff.

Check out your local charity shops and second-hand bookshops. You will find loads of cross stitch books with charts and they're very cheap.

What a lovely idea. My sister did a sampler for my daughter when she was born and I still have it, whereas the clothes and baby toys have long gone.
