I used to cross stitch when I actually had time. You can get patterns at pretty much any craft store :)

Joann's. I really love their online selection . . . and plus they ship here and it gets here pretty quick. But I love shopping at Michaels and Walmart, too.

Either Walmart or Michaels. Sometimes you can find some cute ones for free online. I have a HUGE pattern of some Sunflowers that I found online that I'll probably never get around to doing.

ETA: Here's what the finished product of that sunflower one is supposed to look like. It's 200 x 158 stitches. If anyone wants the pattern just PM me your email address and I'll email it to you.

Both my daughter and I crosstitch. I haven't done much in the past year because I had to have bifocals and it plays heck with stitching now.

However, my daughter does beautiful stitchwork. I bought her a program for her comp that she can take a picture and make her own pattern. She has stitched our dogs and it looks like a photo it is so good. She has done portraits etc. She finds a picture she likes of whatever and she makes her own patterns.

If any of you are hot and heavy into crosstitching I highly recommend getting a computer program and doing your own. A wedding day portrait of your mom and dad done in stitchery is a wonderful gift. Newborn's pics in stitches is great also.

Which software did you get? I've looked at a few different trial versions of ones, but haven't found one that I'm ever REALLY happy with. They are expensive, and I want to be sure I'll be happy with it if i buy one.

As for patterns, -- Michael's, AC Moore, Ebay, Online, Wal-Mart, Cross Stitch Junction. I have found some wonderful ones that I need to go replenish specific colors of thread so that I can finish it.
