You can download a chart of Big Ben from Cross stitch Collectibles for about $7.99

It is an evening shot of the big ben, the bridge and some of the buildings in London.....never purchased a chart this way....but you can atleast view the picture.

There are a few more out there .... maybe some of the forum members from the UK may have a better option.

Good Luck, hope you find what your looking for.

I found a little free chart of the doubbledecker bus.

And there is a free Big Ben here (scroll down a bit)

And a free Big Ben postcard here:

If you want something bigger, there is a beautiful AOY pattern here, but it's a bit expensive:

If you want a kit there is a designer called John Clayton who has done a London scene with BigBen in it.

It is near the bottom of the page.

I also remember seeing some AOY patterns with London scenes - but can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know where to find them? I myself would love to have those.

I have been looking for those All Our Yesterdays patterns everywhere but still could not find them. I remember seeing somewhere the finished pieces: the two children standing in front of the Big Ben, and similar, I think small pictures. Do you have any ideas where to look for them?

Oh, how stupid of me - I didn't look in the gallery. Do you remember where you got them?

I finally have found some of them - also found a note on one of the sites saying that this range is discontinued by DCM - that's why it was so difficult to find.
i think I am buying one or two... :doh: Well, at least I am watching them on e-bay, and then I'll see... :oops:

I looked at the list of contents of this book and and some of the pictures but it does not have the right ones. There are some lovely pictures in it though. Was tempted just before Christmas to get this book from Amazon UK but they could only point me in the direction of ´used´ones.

I have sent Agi the charts for the ones that she wanted.
