Description:

Create for your one partner an art deco themed mini cross stitch.

Approximate size is 20x20 stitches to 60x60 stitches but it doesn't have to be square shaped. This does not have to be a finished project but have threads worked in and trimmed.

Look in the group forum, search for free patterns online, or design the pattern yourself!

Here's a nice visual explanation of Art Deco vs. Art Nouveau: http://www.fauxology.com/2012/01/art-deco-or-art-nouveau/

Thanks, @Cirsium

I have a design I am thinking of stitching, but it is 51 x 80 stitches which is bigger than the specified size. Is that OK, or should I look for something a bit smaller?

@martingale that size doesn't bother me at all! My guess is, if someone is using the mini-stitches to then make some other craft, maybe size matters? I say make the pattern that works and if for some reason your partner doesn't like that I will angel with something smaller. I think for future mini themes I'll only put a minimum size and not a max to let it be a bit more free.

Thank you for responding, @EmilyT I have been doing a little more searching around and I think I might have found something more appropriate which is a bit smaller.
