Looking for a Special Irish Design
Hello everyone ..... I need your help - About a year ago, I came across a very beautiful counted cross stitch design online I would really love to get hold of ..... "Irish Luck" designed by Sandra Cozzolino. It was originally published in the March 2004 "Crazy for Cross Stitch" Magazine (Issue #81).

This design is so beautiful ... It's a display of Celtic Braids and Crosses with the words, "Luck of the Irish," in the center embellished with a beautiful charm. The image of this design in the magazine was stitched on some type of green fabric with gold-toned floss or thread. The stitch count is 113w x 113h.

I no longer use credit cards, don't do paypal, don't like to download, and I have a hand-me-down printer from a younger sister that can no longer be used. I would absolutely love it if I can find the original magazine and/or pattern! :-)

Can anyone help me out with my search?

Hello miss crossstitch - I just received my first laptop computer about six months ago ..... a small Samsung Chrome. I am not very tech savvy at all and don't really understand how to download a pdf format file ..... I hope I said that correctly. My oldest son is always pointing out to me the correct terms to use when I am referring to the internet.

I'm really more of a hands-on type of person and would prefer to locate the original magazine or a print of the original design by Sandra Cozzolino. I do love to get online to search for info and shop at different cross stitch websites.

Hi there again.

I am the same I don't know much about the computer as my cousin who had 4 years of college to

work for a company as a programmer. I had learned from the library how to use it. I just want to tell

just write the name of the site ETSY.com and you will see like a new place that they sell all kind of

cross stitch pattern and ready ones hand made. On this site they sell even Jewelry and pocket

books, cloth anything it come to mind which has to do with craft. So ask your son to help you to get

this pattern for you. I have to go to get a book from my local library how to use this site correctly

sometimes they sell a pattern digitally. So you have to know how to download it from the computer.

Good luck again.

Miss Liz you can send a check for the price of the item and ask your son to help you on the computer. Take a class as I did at your local library. Good luck again

My second home is the library. I spend a lot of time over there to get books on cross stitching and other subjects. So they can lend you a book on how to use this site if you really ant to work with them and get your pattern. They really try to help when you ask. So go for it.

Mrs Liz you can call the magazine and/or write to them and if they answer you that will be it. Just discri
describe what you want in your letter and they when they do answer you so send a check for the price of the magazine. Good luck. I did my job for you.

Hi Miss Crossstitch - I really appreciate all of your suggestions! :-) I am familiar with the ETSY.com website. Often times when I am doing a general search for something I find myself at their website.

The "Crazy for Cross Stitch" magazine is no longer being published. I'm hoping to find someone who has collected old cross stitch magazines, and perhaps ... I can purchase the one I'm looking for. I have gone to the EBAY website and seen the "Irish Luck" design and magazine, but ..... I'm not comfortable with doing business with this type of website.

I use to go to my local library all the time while my oldest son was in college and made a very good friend with a woman from Nigeria. She taught me the basics of the internet several years ago, and she became a friend almost immediately.

Five years ago I became very ill and had 3 major life saving surgeries back to back. Unfortunately, I lost full use of my hands, and ... my balance has been strongly affected as well. I don't get out as much ... like I use to.

I'm curios as to who you are and where you are from. I was born and raised in the Heart of the South in the Great State of Georgia! :-)
