I have a thing for fairies and mermaids, so I like the two I have mentioned, plus Passione Ricamo is also great. Teresa Wentzler does pretty designs, but complicated.

I stitch Chatelaines - but they are expensive to kit up.

Papillon Creations and Ink Circles are also good fun.

There are some good books from the library, but you have to know who to look for. I liked the Readers Digest 1000 pattern book, and Lesley Teares books have interesting things. Joan Elliott also has a few books.

Hope this helps :D
