Self-drafted pattern - the client I made this for wanted a block style font and some flowers to soften the message. Got them both from this book!
I got this book from Amazon, but your local library system may have it. It has a good section of flowers. There are some pattern books that are all flowers too, but I don't know much about them

Pattern by me, incorporating elements from this book.
It's a very easy hobby to get hooked on. :-) There are several pattern sites out there that I like. First, for geeky games stuff, try the Sprite Stitch Forums. There are tons of sprite patterns and ideas there for free. For huge, fancy projects I like Heaven and Earth Designs. Their patterns are not free (for the most part), but they go on sale regularly, and if you send them a photo of your finished piece for their gallery, they'll give you another pattern of the same price for free. About.com Also has some pretty good, simple free patterns.
If you're interested in picking up any books, the two I use most frequently are 2001 Cross Stitch Designs and 365 Alphabets. The first has a ton of motifs that can be used individually for ornaments, cards, and other gifts, or combined to make larger patterns. The second is great for personalizing stuff. Hope these help!
