My Creative Space

My creative space isn't exactly creative at the moment ... it's more a hiatus between creative endeavours.

That doesn't mean I'm not thinking about crafting because I've spent the last couple of weeks leafing through this book of geometric cross stitch patterns I picked up at the op shop.

I love symmetry and balance (so of course geometric is totally me) and these are so striking ... I'm thinking of modifying them and doing them in red and black on a cream Aida.

And these if I can ... maybe a cushion cover?

My creative place is only one of a million ... you'll find the other 999,999 over at kootoyoo.

Very pretty patterns. I agree with you on the mathy symmetry. I like it too. I wonder if any of them could be transferred for knitted lace?

They look so complicated to do, but I still love the patterns because they look so much like wonderful quilt blocks. Have fun cross-stitching!
