Default What kinds of "Charts To Try"?

In case some did not noticed, I am a male...........lol

Problem I been having is not knowing what other men [and women] like to
complete [sew].

For me, I like most designs that are detailed like the larger samurai I'm
doing from
a kit by Dimensions. I also have a carousel horse to do, and finished
another
kit given me of younger version of forest animals [rabbit, butterfly,
raccoon, fox, etc].
Me personally, don't like those cutesy designs, like the childish-drawn
patterns but then
some one else might.

As Joan noted for idea, I do have a few classical prints for various nudes
[Greek/roman poses]
but have never really seen any done before, so was not sure if they were
wanted. Actual tools,
that is a thought. Male ballet dancers, never seen one of men only either
females or both sexes
and male was behind as support for move being shown.

Cars, boats, lighthouses are easy to do. Only problem with doing them and
releasing charts of them
is the newer ones have to be approved and allowed by the manufacturer for
most. I remember years
back that one of the fob companies could only do the corvette logo was to
have it changed because
the car company was not allowing anyone but their group do the logo.

But anyways, so far there have been some interesting ideas. Might take time
to go through them all
and see what works or problems related to doing a general release of same.
keep them coming.

Thank you

Ah........ would that be 'The Mighty Samurai' ?
I'm trying to get the courage to start it.
Have you encountered any problems or aggravations with the kit ?

yes, that is it.

sort the threads as they have them grouped on the instruction sheet.
Also mark the cards with the numbers for the colour and which
set it is the colours are from. will make things alot easier to find the
colours when blending, since they are very close for some of the
colours and easy to goof which one is which. since it is a larger pattern
on a higher count, it does take time to do since it gets on the eyes
somewhat when looking at the same looking colours.

I prefer design which have no 'right' side up', that is, florals in a
container. I like an overall floral, so I can truly toss that pillow
on the bed and not have to position is so it doesn't look upside down.

I'd like to find a decent, smalI parrot.

wow - these are terrific. It's going to take a lotta scrolling to
find the one I like best, but I am sure he or they are there.
Thanks. (My kitchen motif is parrots and peppers .)

What kinds of charts/patterns/designs are people wanting to do, but are
not for some reason.
Looking for ideas for future chart designs for either individual charts
or book include.

Reasons such as:
Can't find designs with theme wanted, such as up close of
butterfly.
Wrong size of design, such as 8x10 wanted but only 2x3
available.
Poor details of pattern, where details in chart look
blurred when done.
Limited colour usage compared to actual painting.
Need lower case of alphabet font to do baby birth chart.
etc.

To give an idea of things that I have researched and have work patterns
or designs of.

Flags of all the world countries:
These can be done individually in a average size.
Mix of all or select flags placed as in a scrape book.
Border for old world map.

Family crests, from various region of the world:
Shield crest from England beside crest of Japanese
family.
Family crest chart, with crest and history of such.
etc.

Military medals, awards, ranks, group:
For a gift to military officer with their medals,
group emblem.

Family tree layouts. Birth record information. Marriage
record/certificate.
Historic timeline, with events noted. On this day chart; with costs
when, top 10
song/movies/item of date, and major events of day/year.

These are just a start of thoughts. Do any sound of interest? Do you
have anything
else of interest want to do? Only things I don't want to know of is of
themes that
promote hate crimes, race hate, etc., you know the stuff.

Thank you for your time to those that reply

nothing worth cross stitching.

which detachment is she with?
I don't know the colours group you stated for an local group.

what I mean is, is it RCMP, OPP, or some city group [since I am in Canada]?
This will allow me to research the actual group to see what they wear, and
the proper shade of colours and ribbon/badge/rank id with location.
