Barbara Ana's Winged Dreams against a mountain sunset
We love it when we hear from a stitcher who comes up with a lovely personal interpretation of a design. It shows how stitchers really appropriate a pattern, coming up with the most brilliant ideas.
In this case, Nona J., having decided to stitch Barbara Ana's Winged Dreams came across a lovely Etsy shop selling printed Aida fabrics in a great variety of atmospheric backgrounds, including this colorful sunset.
"It had all the best colors and a oncoming night sky at the top which was perfect for tones chosen by Barbara Ana." Kindly Nona agreed to share it with us.

Like all her designs, this cross stitch pattern by Barbara Ana's is a lot of fun to complete, each new part filled with wonderful surprises, stitch after stitch.

Tiny yet stylish William Morris style mini motifs
It's amazing how much Lesley Teare manages to incorporate into such tiny motifs. The expert designer has already tackled much larger design inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, but these tiny ones, involving full cross stitch only are proof of her talent.

Nautical inspiration
Can you resist stitching these cute little sailors, practicing nautical knots in pairs, and getting seemingly a bit entangled on the way. A cross stitch pattern brought to you by Perrette Samouiloff.
Additionally, at the request of her fans, Perrette has created a matching Birth Sampler designed for either a Girl or a Boy.
