Start with designing simple projects

April 14, 2009

Monika Lewis mentioned she designed that wonderful Star Trek project with inspiration from Jo Verso's World of Cross Stitch book

Jo Verso's book

 

This is a terrific way to start creating your own designs. Jo Verso uses sharp, simple clean lines and her books encourage picking and chosing motifs that are right for you. Her designs are so adaptable, you'll find you can make modifications easily. 

A good online source for purchasing her books is here at Arts and Designs

Ebay is another good source.

If you don't have a handy stack of graph paper (you will need it for this style of designing)

here is a link to a free downloadable program
