Kelly Bilyeu - owner and designer
All of my cross stitch patterns are original designs. If I use any artwork or photographs in my work, they are all given proper source credit and have been obtained legally. I also stitch ALL of my patterns myself before releasing them to ensure they stitch up properly and photos of the finished products are used so my buyers can see what their piece can/should look like.

Advice
- I've been stitching for 30+ years. My mother taught me needlepoint when I was 6 and when I was about 17, I picked up my first cross stitch kit and became a self-taught cross stitcher. I've tried several types of needlework over the years, but always come back to cross stitching.
- My biggest stitching tip is to go with what you love. Don't cave to the pressure of what technique or designer is popular. AND don't be afraid to try new things.
Dominant Themes of Designs - What Inspires You?
I don't really have a 'dominant theme', unless you count bright, vivid colors. I LOVE color and try to use it whenever I can. I find inspiration in everything; a quote I see, a place I've visited, a gift I've received.
Share About a Special or Popular Design
My most popular pattern has been my 'Chocolate is Proof', which was inspired by my addiction to good, dark chocolate and a magnet one of my friends gave me as a gift.
Format of Designs / Stitching Level
My designs range across all levels from beginner with 5-7 colors and basic cross stitches only to intermediate/advanced with 90 colors using lots of detailed shading and back stitching.
