Freebie Cross Stitch!

I am still practicing with my pattern maker and making cross stitch pieces, so I thought I would try a small one for fun.
This is a piece that I adapted from an antique fraktur and made it into a needle case size.
I still need to make it into one, but I added a photo, so you can see what the pattern looks like stitched.
Enjoy the pattern and please make it for yourselves or as gifts, not for profit.



I made the pattern into a graphic and it prints out nicely. I left it with blocks, since it is a simple pattern and you can use any colors that you like. I made mine on 18 count and it is the perfect size for a needle book. This week I started a new punch needle piece and I got to the end of the main design and punched a hole right through the cloth:( So, no new punches this week, but I am restarting it and as soon as my joints stop aching, I will get to work again.

    Thanks for sharing....I haven't cross stitched in years and maybe should pull it out again...I did say maybe. So little time for all.
