# About me
I am a professional cross stitcher - by this I mean that I create my own cross stitching designs which you can see at www.StitchingDreams.co.uk, and I also model stitch for several cross stitching magazines. It keeps me very busy!If you are an artist and are interested in collaborating with me in terms of converting your artwork into cross stitch charts for sale on my website (see below), then please contact me at Pippa@StitchingDreams.co.uk - please spread the word :) I'm always looking out for talented artists out there! (Artwork must be of high quality standard, and not all artworks will be accepted).

Thanks for your submissions but I'm just looking for original patterns people have made up and stitched.

Your stitched works are amazing. How do you make a living from stitching? I'm curious about this profession, it is so time consuming!

I do commission stitching for 5 national (UK) cross stitch magazines - CrossStitcher, Cross Stitch Crazy, Cross Stitch Gold, Cross Stitch Card Shop and World of Cross Stitching. They pay me to stitch up the cross stitch charts they are going to print in their magazines, so their readers can see the finished results Also, because of my experience with stitching I now design my own cross stitch charts and sell them as well - www.StitchingDreams.co.uk
It is very, very time consuming... and I'm often up late working on stitching or designing, but I love it, so I don't mind

I see what you mean but is it enough to make a living, all in all?

By itself.. no, it's a labour of love. I also happen to be an Osteopath though, so it's all good
