I&#8217;m not sure exactly what this question is asking, so I will answer it in a manner that makes sense to me.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>As far as stitching goes, I like everything.  Straight cross stitch, speciality stitches, drawn thread work, pulled thread work, hardanger, ribbon embroidery, etc.  I tend to like designs that will hold my interest by mixing up a variety of stitching types.  I like celestial, oriental, realistic and fantasy designs.  Dragons, fairies and angels are good.  So are band samplers.  I really like geometric or symmetrical designs, so I&#8217;m drawn to square Just Nan, small Sweetheart Tree and most of the Chatelaine designs.  I also like Mirabilia and Passione Ricamo for realistic and &#8220;realistic&#8221; fantasy designs.  Throw in The Victoria Sampler for hardanger designs and I think that&#8217;s the heaviest hitters in my repertoire.  Not that I don&#8217;t or won&#8217;t stitch other things, of course.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>2.  I am not a big fan of primitive or country types of designs.  Whimsical can be okay, depending on how it&#8217;s done.  Anything too cute is right out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
