so-soMeh. Definitely better than what has been the norm for cross stitch patterns (WILDLY outdated designs), but still not wowing me. I feel like I might just have to make my own cross stitch design book because apparently my definition of "modern" is still way different from this author. The only pattern I saved is one of little bitty farm animals (it was listed under "kids"....um?). #thisbitchneedsmodernstitch
LauraBeth Completely agree! I ❤️ to x stitch but never do it bc the designs are so hokey. I've thought about just doing my own designs as well 7y
DeborahSmall @LauraBeth I've been working on this for a while. It has been neglected for reading as I can't do audio books. She has some other lovely designs Cross stitch - Bothy Threads - New Heights https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004X5X6IG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vyJgzb6MBQ6F5 7y
LauraBeth @DeborahSmall that is lovely! I'll check her out - thanks! 7y

bookwrm526 I've found some really cool ones on Etsy, but you have to watch out for the ones where they just scan a photo because they end up having far too many colors and being ridiculously hard to stitch 7y
DreesReads I love the bird on the cover! But I'll have to see if my library has it. I have learned not to buy craft books without previewing them first lol!! 7y
Caterina I like the bird on the cover, it's pretty! I've found etsy to be a pretty good source for cross stitch patterns, and just googling around if I have a theme in mind (e.g. "Doctor Who"). 7y
Caterina As a 23 year old who loves cross stitch, I totally empathize with your plight. 💛 7y
LauraBrook Have you checked Etsy? I've downloaded patterns from Parks and Rec and other shows for just a couple of bucks each. 7y
alanacristin I second getting patterns off Etsy! Though i still would love to flip through a book of them 😍 7y
Literaryunicorn Try satsumastreet.etsy.com. I love their designs! And I feel your pain. I also love cross stitch but hate out outdated patterns can be!! 7y
queerbookreader @LauraBeth @DeborahSmall @bookwrm526 @Caterina @LauraBrook @alanacristin @Literaryunicorn Thank you for all your comments!! Does anyone else rip cool patterns off Pinterest or is that just me 😳 here's a book that has modern asshole patterns that I've been trying to get at the library. It's something. I'd love a book of pop culture cross stitch patterns though!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
