Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I finally got a pretty set of Color variations thread and want to make something with it, and I thought a "Welcome" stitch would be a really cute way to do it. The problem? I can't seem to find anything I like!

I am just looking for something simple - there are 12 different colors and I want to do each letter a different color and a border. Everything I can find is complicated or too large.

I also don't want anything religious.

The closest I have found is this one from 123stitch, but I am not crazy about it.

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

What do you think of this?

Or this one?

Or THIS?

Someone on this board has done a Welcome freebie in both a red/green and a blue/silver. It looked like a mini version of welcome mat you would have at your front door. I'll try and find it.

EDIT: Here it is.. and it might not be a freebie pattern anymore. May have only been when the show was active. But if you like it, its probably on the designers page.

Or you could find an alphabet that you like and make your own.

That was me! Here's a link to the Pine Glen Designs homepage. It's pictured on the homepage. It isn't free anymore, but I don't think it's very expensive.

Ooo that is cute tiff! I may do that one - then I can experiment with everything!

here's another welcome cross stitch design.
