- Fantasy Patterns
-
- I recently returned from a Science Fiction/Fantasy convention in
- Atlanta, Ga. While at the convention, I ran across the folks from
- Fannish Stitchery selling their cross-stitch patterns. After a little
- chat, I found out why no one could get an answer from them. They've
- moved to another state. They have a new catalog, but he didn't have
- time to get them printed for the convention, so he gave me an old
- catalog and wrote down the new address for me.
-
- Here's the new address for those that would like to write and inquire
- about their new catalog. I don't know if there'll be a charge for the
- new one. I don't know how much it differs from the old one which is 5
- one-sided pages. I didn't think to ask when I was at the convention.

- Their patterns vary in detail. One of the two patterns that I picked up
- is "Fighting Thread" (Pern dragonrider fans will understand this title),
- and it is basically a picture drawn over graphed paper. You have to put
- in your own colors. The picture is well-drawn, though it shows the
- dragons more as scaled creatures than smooth skinned. But that's a minor
- detail. The chart size is about 300H x 200W. The finished size will be
- depend on what fabric ct you choose to do it on. The price for the chart
- was $3.00.
- The other chart I got is a head shot of Picard. It also is a picture
- drawn on graph paper, but it has the colors graphed for you with symbols
- and the DMC numbers to use. Chart size is 100W x 130H and cost $3.00.
-
- At the convention, they also had kits, so if you're interested in kits,
- inquire about those too. If they don't have it on hand, they may be able
- to make one up for you. If you have any other questions about the catalog
- that I have, let me know.
