Most of my Mom's projects were samplers or that style, I prefer artistic pieces. I have purchased two patterns off of Etsy which are images of famous paintings one a Kandinsky piece and the other a Klee.

New here as well. Learned how to x stitch as a child from my mother though for many years with young kids I never seemed to find the time. They are in their teens now and my Mom recently passed away and I found multiple unfinished projects in her studio. I have been slowly going through finishing up...

Just joined and recently bought some metallic threads which I have yet to try, but am very excited about all of the tips here! Great variety of advice.
