My name is Wendi and I live in Lubbock, TX (about 2 hours south of Amarillo and 6 hours west of DFW). I have been married to my husband, Andrew for 11 years and we have 2 wonderful sons, Jacob and Connor.
I have been cross stitching since I was about 8 or 9 when my mom showed me how with some stamped cross stitch projects. I basically taught myself to do counted cross stitch with some help from my grandmother in my teens. I enjoy doing both, but stamped projects are getting harder to find. For myself, I like involved pieces, but not TOO involved (like 50 colors, lots of blending, french knots {shudders} and huge {larger than 10×13}). 
I started creating my own patterns in 2004 when my wonderful hubby bought the Digistitch software for my Valentine’s Day present. LOVE IT!! At first, it was just for fun. But, God really started talking to me and I feel that He wants me to use this gift to share things about Him. I’m working on patterns with various themes, but I really want to convey something about God in each one, whether I actually put His name on it or not. I have talked about starting a biz doing patterns for a few years and kept putting it off. Finally, bit the bullet in August 2007 and filed for my biz name and tax ID (when the time comes) and have been talking with the SBDC in LBK since. I haven’t sold anything yet, but that’s OK. I’d like to start out kinda slow and see where it leads.
Hey Wendi! I just wanted to say good for you and good luck with everything! Hey, you can even bring some of your stuff to work on at work during slow times. You could probably get a lot done!!

Ok, now I know what you’re making I can say that you wouldn’t be a threat to me! lol I’m mainly flowers with another shop that deals with more mature stitching.
But really, check out http://www.etsy.com and maybe think about selling your patterns there. It’s only 20 cents to list and they take a small percentage (3.5%?) if it sells and the listing is good for 4 months.
Anyway, just trying to help out a fellow cross stitcher!
Peace and happy stitching!
