"Large Print" Cross Stitch -- Help!

[Joe & Lora Dalton]

I'm looking for a source of large -- like maybe 6 count? -- cross
stitch for my sister. She is vision-impaired due to a stroke, and the
rehab center where she hangs out had some printed large cross stitch
table linens. She started them out for something to do, and is now
really in love with cross stitch! (It's also really good for her to be
using her hands and eyes that way.)

We've seen the 6-ct Aida kits, though they're hard to find, and she
did one but I had to draw in the XX's with a fabric marker. She can't
do counted cross stitch: the thing is, her vision problem is severe
double vision. (Imagine all those little holes swimming before your
eyes! It's bad enough sometimes _without_ double vision!)

I'm enlarging some Dover folk designs to apply with a transfer pen,
but I don't think I can keep up with the demand. My sister's got a lot
of free time, and she whips through this stuff at breakneck speed!

I told her I'd bring our problem to rctn -- The Court of Last Resort.
I'd be most grateful for information about sources or any other ideas
anyone here has about this. Thanks in advance.

Klostern is a 7 count fabric that is used a lot for pillows, vests,
banners, etc. It comes in beige, mushroom, cream, white, light mocha,
sand, powder blue, pewter, navy, sage green and black. Hollie Designs
does a lot of designs on klostern and somebody else, but I can't recall
who at the moment. Maybe Homespun Elegance?

I have found a place that carries large print cross stitch patterns already stamped
on for you. it is in Newport Tennessee . I will try to find the address and will post
it when I find it. Best of luck finding what you are looking for. maybe the place
can send you the patterns in the mail. jennifer

Of course, and I admit rctn is really my _first_ resort. After all,
why waste time looking all over when, if an answer exists, you can bet
someone here knows it?

Thanks, everyone, for all the help. I'll post a summary of everyone's
ideas.
