I’d like to feature some cross stitch designers and designs that I have encountered in my browsing sessions looking for new things to make. The first one is Ink Circles. Ink Circles’ website sells the original designs of Tracy Horner (and also designs by several other designers).

Tracy designs great celtic knots, and also great monochrome designs. I especially love the design on the left, Cirque des Cercles (she also has a version with triangles and squares). They lend themselves very well to stitching with over dyed (multiple color) thread. They are quite big (but I am a sucker for big designs), and very beautiful! When you do visit the site, don’t forget to check out the gallery where her designs can be seen in many different colors.

There are also a fair few free patterns on the website (mostly celtic knots). She stages a stitch-along (SAL) last year with new free designs every month, leading to a big final piece in a month or so.
