So many!
I've been buying a few "Little House Needleworks" lately - they've been
calling me. I also like TW, Emie Bishop (Cut 'n' Patch), Carriage House
Samplings, Victoria Sampler, MLI, Arelate Studio, Drawn Thread, Rosewood
Manor, Blue Ribbon Designs....and I know there are more!!

My current favorites are My Big Toe Designs and Blue Ribbon Designs.
I think the last MLI release was Fallen Roses. I started it and have
about 1/3 completed. It is a nice design. Cheryl, I like your top
two designers. I haven't purchased an Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks
but really like the latest release which is a large ornament. I think
I saw it on ABCStitch.
If you like geometrical designs, check out the Fractals.

Those are often so modern and spare - I really like them. I'm doing the
horse one - in midnight blue/black silk on gothic dyed fabric.

Ditto. Don't you have one of the fairies from Who Knew?

Similar, IIRC, is I think Sunflower stitches, or something like that.

I thought that Birds of a Feather is only doing NP now? I have a lot of
their XS in stash. You might like La-D-Da - similar type of look. And
Carriage House Samplings - which I love. Might take a look at Plum Street
Samplers - they're pretty witty.

There are quite a lot of those from Ink Circles. Also, try Keslyn Designs,
and My Big Toe.

Just so much out there.
Personally, I do a lot of, or at least stash, Drawn Thread & Indigo Rose for
interesting sampler type things. And there are all kinds of things from
Ellen Chester and Eileen Bennett, as well.
OK - 'nuff for now.
