Nora Corbett, creator of Mirabilia designs, works and lives in Granville, Ohio. Here she creates fine art watercolor paintings and intricate, elegant cross-stitch patterns.

"The subjects of Nora's Mirabilia designs are timeless women in escapist, romantic settings, allowing the person who buys and completes her cross stitch patterns the same level of involvement that a great romance novelist creates for the reader. The designs are sophisticated and creative with a penchant for angels, queens, fairies, mothers, lovers and other embodiments of the graceful woman."

There are five purchasing options:
1. the complete kit with everything you need to produce the design as recommended by the designer
2. without the fabric so you can use your own or purchase the relevant hand-dyed fabric
3. without the DMC threads if you have the stash
4. without the pattern if you already have it
5. and for those of you who have a lot of stash - without both the fabric and the pattern.
