    I usually have an idea in mind & do a Google search for the particular theme. It can be time consuming sifting through all the options though!

    For kits I'd go with the fox collection.

    Vicstitch (or Ozstitch) has never really had all that much of interest for me, but I do find that they are the best place to buy fabric.

    I prefer to buy patterns and source the fabric and threads myself (because I've got something like 3-4 boxes of stranded cottons!), and to buy just the chart - the online stores from overseas are usually your best bet.

    And the best stuff... kits or otherwise, seems to come from the UK. I want to move to the UK just for my cross stitch habit! If only my hands were better and more able to actually do stuff!

    has anyone mentioned Heaven and Earth Designs?
    they have amazing stuff, really large complicated patterns though, but amazing works of art when you are done. they are sorted by artist so prepare to take time to go through them all - but worth it
