Welcome to Quaternion Creations, a small stitchy business ran by me!
Who am I?
I’m Maria, long-term geek, mathematician by specialization, and artist at heart. I currently live in Tallinn, Estonia with my husband and my beautiful son Ian. My cat Pryanik isn’t with us anymore, but I’m a still bit of a cat-crazy lady!
I love video games, Star Trek (sorry, Star Wars fans!), traveling around the world, reading – especially murder mystery stories – and good music (from classics to rock, and great thanks to Blackmore’s Night for helping me fall in love with my wonderful husband). I also like transforming chaos into structure in many different ways, though you would never believe it if you could look inside my wardrobe 🙂
Apart from being a massive geek, I am also a feminist and women rights supporter.
Random facts to get to know me better:
- My favorite color is blue
- My favorite hoop size is 13 cm/ 5”
- My favorite season is the summer (as it usually is with people from Northern countries)
- I graduated from Moscow State University, where I studied mathematics
- My favorite cities are Rome and Singapore
I started making cross stitch designs for my personal use, but just couldn’t stop creating!
I really appreciate when you drop me a comment or two! Is there anything else you would like to know about me? 🙂
Hello,
All the downloadable files are for convinience compressed in .zip or .rar archives (usually an archive contains several different files). Can you see the contents of each archive you try to open? If the problem persists, just write me down the names of the patterns you like and I will send you an e-mail with patterns in viewable .pdf format 🙂
Hope you will complete the runes stitch patterns. I like them very much.
Thank you, Vlad! I definitely will!
Hi there, Jeanie!
Do you mean snail mail? I could definitely print out a copy and send it to you, if you are ready to waity (and wait, and wait, because Russian post in infamous for its slowness). Just send a message to my email zlayakoshka@gmail.com if that’s ok with you.
