Horsey Cross Stitch

[hghlnd]

hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone knows where to get some horsey cross stitch patterns from? Not really looking for anything in particular although would absolutely love to find one with a horse and carriage to do as a present for a family member...
thanks in advance,
hghlnd

I had a booklet with some in years ago, I think it was american as there was barrel racing. I can't remember if there was a carriage. If I knew where it was you could have it (I realise not much help to you). Online search? Hobycraft? Ebay? Etsy?

Just had a quick look but I think I must have charity shopped it in a fit of decluttering.

Don't know of any patterns off the top of my head but I know you can get software to make your own charts, even from photos. Might be an option if you really can't find anything.

Hobbycraft.

no problem, thanks for taking the time to look, I'm off to browse the web and ebay just now too

FubsyMog and KVH thanks for the suggestions

There are companies who will make you a chart from a photo.

I find getting the kits easiest, try putting horse x-stitch into your search engine, always works well for me

sewandso is good

They have several kits of varying complexity in hobbycraft, not bad prices either!

so far I can't find what I'm looking for online have looked on hobbycraft and a few others mentioned here...

Fire and Ice looks stunning when it's done. I have it in a black mount & frame & love it.

There are some lovely ones on here, but no horses & carriage designs. I absolutely love the last one, the Farmlife blackwork sampler.

thanks for the help so far, I have found a few that I would really like to do

It has just crossed my mind that Amazon often have some good ones too.

have also had a look at amazon, thanks for the suggestion though

sewandso.co.uk has some good ones, but their search is a bit rubbish.
