West Coast Choppers
does anyone know where I can find a pattern (online) for one of those "west
coast choppers" Maltese crosses?? If there is a downside to cross stitch addiction, it would be the frustration of trying to find masculine projects for the men and boys in our lives......at least for me anyhow! All I can ever find is feminine projects or one for babies/children or a combination of both. Of all the theme based books I have seen in the craft stores, I have never been able to find anything with masculine projects in them. Thanks a million! Starla |

Starla, I can't help with the west coast choppers - I'll be interested to
see what people post But I can tell you that for ALL of the men and boys in my life, Lynne Nicoletti has been my saving grace. LOL Now, I'm "lucky" I guess because all the men in my life also love sports of all sorts, or tall ships, etc. And Lynne's patterns are not only fabulous to stitch, but the end results are fantastic ! http://www.lynnenicoletti.com/ No affiliation - just a big fan Good luck finding what you're looking for !

There are many people out there turning works of art into counted cross stitch patterns, and then trying to sell the patterns, IMHO with somewhat false advertising. The one you sent me to is a typical example. I am sure the picture shown is one of the original work of art. I am almost certain it is not a picture of a stitched piece. But it does not even appear to be a picture of what the final product might look like, by reproducing a picture of the painting after it has been processed by the software which produces patterns. The size given, IIRC about 175 by 250 stitches, or about 45,000 total stitches, seems to me, to be far and away too small to provide the detail which the original work of art has. Since anyone with a computer these days can produce their own patterns for little or no cost, and get the sort of detail they are prepared to stitch, I wonder how anyone can make money out of trying to sell this sort of thing. Incidentally, your warning of "for mature male eyes only", IMHO is way out of line. It is a very tasteful picture, one I am sure the majority of females would enjoy. I can assure you I have contemplated using pictures which one could only describe as being pornographic, to turn into patterns, but I am not sure what I could possibly do with them if I ever stitched them. How could one possibly show anyone that sort of thing? -- Jim Cripwell. The gods do not subtract from the allotted span of one's life, any time that is spent in stitching.
