Counted Canvaswork Designers

Designers of Counted Canvaswork charts can be hard to find. I've listed the websites and/or contact information for all the ones I know about in alpha order, including teachers of counted work who occasionally sell their charts to the pubic. Please note in many cases you will have to buy their works from a shop as many don't sell directly to the public. There is a list of shops that have a lot of charts available on a separate tab or you can click here.

If you are a fan, there are several Facebook groups of counted canvas workers to hang out with.

 I don't do counted pieces much myself so please help me keep this up to date by sending me new information and updating the old.  Thanks!

Hi Jane,
Could you please update the SJ Designs link? That's the old site which is no longer being updated. The newest link for pattern books is:
http://www.sj-designs.com/category_29/SJ-Designs-Pattern-Booklets.htm
Thanks! Susan

Could you please locate, if possible, a site for Wanda Linsley, creator of Dresden Kitty and other pulled thread creations? I used to be with EGA, but the chapter closed years ago. We never did anything by her, and EGA doesn't list her e-mail address, and searching online has proved futile. I'd like to purchase Dresden Kitty if/when it becomes available after EGA retires it this December.

Thank you very much for your time.

I'll see if EGA has an contact information for Ms. Linsley. Give me a day or two to get an answer back, ok?

Anon, I've heard from Wanda Linsley who is on the road right now. She says she'll email me contact information when she gets home again. Stay tuned!

Does anyone have a contact for Alice Okon? We would like to do a program at my guild of one of her designs.
