The Inspiration:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zen

Meditation.

Enlightenment.

You do all you can to keep yourself healthy but are you doing all you can for your mind and soul.

Meditation can bring you to a point of calmness and clarity.

A quiet focal point can help you achieve that state of mind.

Let the art of cross-stitch first bring you that calmness and then let this image be your center, your focal point as you enter that stage of enlightenment.

If you've gotten this far...I hope this has inspired you!

Thank you for looking and reading!

Have a great day!

FAQs

Each counted cross stitch pattern lists the finished stitch count as well as the dimensions of the stitched item in several of the most popular thread counts available. If you want to use a different count fabric, you can easily calculate the finished size as well as the needed fabric. Take the number of stitches wide and divide by the fabric thread count. Do the same with the height. That will give you the dimensions of the final stitched area. That does NOT take into account additional fabric that you will need around the finished design. Be sure to add at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) PER SIDE to give you a comfortable amount of extra fabric on which to work on. So that would add 6 inches (15.24 cm) to both height and width.

Customized patterns can always be requested and I will work on it with you until you are completed satisfied with the resulting pattern. Adding a personalization to a pattern (name, title, date, etc.) can be requested at no additional charge.

Absolutely. I'm currently going through and adding the large format PDFs into each pattern listing. If you don't see it there yet, just contact me thru Etsy and I will get that pattern emailed to you.

Everyone has their preferences and I do my best to accommodate. From my experience, it boils down to comfort level of the stitcher. Currently, I offer 4 different pattern PDFs for each pattern - a regular format chart in either black and white or colored versions as well as larger format charts in again black and white or colored versions. You do not have to choose an option when you order. All four are available to you after you order in your download section. The PDFs have identifiers at the end of each file name that tells you what they are: RC - regular format, colored chart RBW - regular format, black and white chart LC - large format, colored chart LBW - large format, black and white chart
