New finish - EGA Master Craftsman Canvas #5 by Fran
Received a pass first time out on test #5 for the Canvas Embroidery Master cert! It is a completely original design of carnival masks hanging on a wall. The photo doesn't do it justice at all. I completely stitched the background first, then appliqued the two front masks onto it as I wanted them...

Stitch? and other XS Pattern-Making by cara1158
Is Stitch still in existence? I just tried to download it (from http://people.dsv.su.se/~henrikbe/stitch/) but it did not install. In fact, no installation or .exe files seem to be there at all. Are there any other cross stitch pattern-making programs that you all recommend? I have not done any...
