Brittercup Designs is a wonderful new design company that we have found.  The designer's name is Michelle Lash.  She started out freelance designing for companies such as Leisure Arts and Imaginating.  Leisure Arts published her first series of designs in 1997.  Recently, she started to use materials such as linens, specialty threads and embellishments in her designs.  Being a freelance designer, it was hard to find publishing companies who would accept her designs using these materials. Therefore, she decided to self-publish her own cross stitch designs.  Hence, she created her company Brittercup Designs in September of 2002.

She has wonderful designs, so we hope that you take a moment to browse through the designs.  We just love it when we find new designers that we can bring to you.  We will be carrying their full line of charts and will be adding more as they become available.
