Where to get patterns from: Etsy is an excellent source! Last year I acquired a cross-stitch pattern from Etsy for cross-stitch Avengers, which I made into a pillow for my brother-in-law. Maybe $4 for the pattern?
Also, my public library has a service called Zinio by which I have access to a delightful ?British? cross-stitching magazine called Cross-Stitcher, and they have a whole bunch of patterns every month.
I made a cross-stitch bib for my godmother's son when I was eight years old and have been cross-stitching ever since. It is wonderfully soothing. Trichotillomania runs in my family, and I like to think that cross-stitching is scratching that itch for me. :p
