Hi Margaret and welcome to the group. Our first New Zealander!

Wow, you have got an eclectic mix of favourite designers haven't
you? I share your love of Bent Creek and LK, they both have that
quirky edge, the same as our designs. Are the Thomas Kinkade as hard
as they look? From the pictures it looks as though they will have
masses of confetti stitches. Michael's designs use lots of colour,
but mostly they are in blocks. They are my ideal stitching, lots of
work because they are completely stitched, interesting designs, but
not so impossibly hard that you can only work on them when feeling
wide awake.
