Does anyone know of where to get some really up-to-date rad cross stitch patterns? I Google it, and of course I get garbage...

I've found a few, but want some more to work on.

**Sorry for the title, I blanked out, and thought I was writing an email**

Want to give a reddie for using rad and cross-stitch in the same sentence... ;)

I'm sorry, I love cross stitch, but I don't think I've gone Rad yet. Are you meaning really cool or something off the wall?

Rad cross stitch is an oxymoron much like "cool mini-van"...

Just playing with you... some of them are very impressive. :)

Do you mean like these?

I could try and design some for you, let me have an idea of what you mean by "rad"?:)

And yes, Firmbeliever, ALL of those are awesome. Where did you find them? Those are completed projects though, not patterns.

I just googled :).

I tried to design a night scene with the moon, not done with the colours but was thinking of something like the attached artwork.
With the moonlight reflecting off the water,palm fronds, the clouds and the bush/tree.

That's so cool.. BUT it has to be tiny squares. I'm not talented enough to do a long stitch like that. But if in every box you have a line you put a square, I think it would work out. And if you do that, once I get my supplies, I'll make it and post a pic!

I am new at this :D.. help me!

Explain how to fit a line in a square? How big should a square be?
As I am using graph paper it won't be too hard to put in squares.

Meantime I will do some googling for a tutorial(if there are any).

A square is 1 square. If a line goes through a square, color it in.

Thanks... will post a colored pic soon as I can. It will be great to see your work when you are done. :)

Yay!

I tried coloring the squares, but did not know what to do with the half squares etc, how do you fill those?

As you can see putting crosses in squares is easier than coloring them:p

The yellow is actually for white or silver (if you prefer), the white color didn't show up well on the graph sheet.Blue is for gray (cant see gray color on graph either.

As I tried cross stitch many years ago when I was a kid, I can't exactly remember what would be an easy design or colour for a pattern,so just trying out a few.:)

Hi, Momma!

Would you like for me to change the title of this thread?

Thanks!
