Hi ! And welcome to Roland designs. ( Founded September 2008 )
My name is Virginie, and I named this site after my first son,Roland.
Roland is a sweet, energetic little boy. Since the day he was born he has been the happiest kid ever, full of life and 'joie-de-vivre ! '. Roland has childhood autism, which makes him all the more dear to us.
In this site I will share with you my own designs, and reproductions of vintage patterns that are 90 -170 years old. I collect antique needlework patterns, books, magazine and all that is related to the art of the needle. I only work from sources I actually own. And though they are in the public domain, my personal re-charting, and varied use of them are my property. They cannot be re-distributed without my permission.
Please do not use in any other way than your own personal use, the charts and freebies on this site.
I have patterns that are exclusively for cross stitch, and some that can easily be used for petit point, or filet crochet. I also have charts for Hardanger, and Berlin woolwork.
If you stitch or crochet one of my patterns, I would love to see a photo of your work.
If you order one or more of my patterns, what you will receive is a PDF file.
I can also send paper copies, but it would be extra shipping depending on the amount of pages.
Otherwise you can receive your charts on CD, just add 5.00 $ for shipping \ handling worldwide, no mater how many charts you order. Add your address at the check out, and I will post your CD within 36 hours.
If you want a sample of the quality of the files, just download one of my free patterns in the free chart section.
Are you interested in knowing more about autism, and motherhood ?
