Interesting! So What’s In It For Me?

Good question … to see how membership of Pattern Patch will benefit YOU, please continue reading. Instructions for joining are given below, or you can click the JOIN link above.

It’s a well-known fact that nowadays we are all living busier lives, which makes it all the more important for each of us to find some ‘me-time’, in order to re-charge our batteries. To do this, we need to find a sanctuary where we can turn off the pressures of life for a while. For me, and so many  fellow stitchers, cross stitch fulfils that function and gives us the ‘space’ we need…

It’s exciting times because, with the growing interest in cross stitch worldwide, there’s never been a better time to join a progressive, forward looking, dedicated cross stitch membership club

We at Patterns Patch want to be that club and aim to provide you with information, support, friendship and lots of fun and stitching pleasure whenever you visit.

What Others Are Saying

I have been a regular reader of Patterns Patch web site. What attracted me in the first place was the quaint name….

Another plus factor is their prompt replies to any queries I may have, in fact my most recent one, which is where can I find Florentine embrodery – specifically with regard to a bible cover I would like to do…”.

The free downloads here are beautiful and they aren’t just tiny cutesy designs (if that makes any sense)!””I have to agree that the sense of “family” and “togetherness” on the board here is awesome! I’ve come here with problems both stitch related and general … and everyone was so warm and caring and encouraging. It was wonderful to have somewhere to turn!”

… and together with my friends John and Scarlet we are the people behind this website. Scarlet and I are both vastly experienced stitchers, while John … knows one end of the needle from the other!

As a seasoned cross stitcher and author of the best selling book “Cross Stitch Made Easy”, I share with you insider information, unusual facts, and shortcuts to better stitching.

I’m a regular writer for cross stitch publications and will be creating regular blog entries especially for you; together with my friend Scarlet and the occasional guest writer. At times I will be gently challenging you to broaden your stitching horizons and stitch outside your comfort zone!

WHY It’s SO Important To Take Care of Your Eyes When Stitching.

Today, I visited Karen, a friend of mine who has recently suffered from sight loss. One of the first things she said to me was, “Whatever else you do Scarlet, take good care of your eyes! I didn’t …”.

Fortunately, she can still see strong colours and shapes, and she uses this ability to continue her cross stitching. Instead of using traditional patterns and equipment, she now uses […]
