Please Help! Really Important! (to do with cross stitching)?

I have to start my junior cert project on Monday, but my the shop where I get my cross stitch patterns were out of the correct size (5x7). I really want to do one of the Flower Faries cross stitchs, based on the drawings of Cicely Mary Barker. If anyone knew where I could find a pattern online, for free, than I could buy the correct thread tomorrow . . . Any answers would be much appreciated, Thanks!

Please Help! Really Important! (to do with cross stitching)?
Cicely Mary Barker probably has a site on the computer. Check it out and you may be able to have them e-mail you a copy of the pattern.

Hope this helps
Reply:Don't you think Cicely Mary Barker deserves to be paid for her work? Pattern making is her livelyhood, after all! If no one pays, she stops making patterns.

Does your local library have one of her books? They might have something equally appealing. That's the best way of getting free patterns. The library has paid for them!
Reply:Hard to get for free. Try this; Impose a graph on a picture you want, each square being an x. There's your pattern. Good luck.
