Default cross-stitch
I'm new to doll houses but have been cross-stitching for years so I fancy doing some work for my house. Does anyone know of good web-sites or books with 1/12 needlework in it with a main theme of Victorian. Thanks

Debbie

Hi, if you want I can send you some charts to stitch patchwork cushion or carpet in 1/12 scale. I love cross stitch and I have plenty of charts. ciao

Cris,

That would be great. Do you want to snail mail or email?

To St. Vale and Laura

I've ordered the book from Amazon. Thanks for the advice.

If your eyesight is good (sadly mine isn't any more) you can work from full size charts using 32 count fabric and fine thread. I have made things that way and they turn out very authentic looking. I got the idea after stitching a freebie picture from a cross-stitch magazine, which came as a kit complete with frame and the 32 count fabric and threads. I couldn't find anywhere locally that sold that kind of kit so had a go at miniaturising full size charts.
