Friday Finishes!

I always love a new month, it means a new stitchery from Kathy Schmitz's, One Stitch at a Time Club. This was a fun one to do for Valentines, I may even make a few more to give away, maybe try one in red work.

Kathy framed her piece, I made a pillow. It is much easier to find spaces for pillows. I also added a few of my own touches and the word love.

I also finished the last three stockings. I love how they look, just wish they looked as nice in a photo. I say finished, but I have to fix something, I wasn't paying attention on one piece, can you guess what it is?

Next is the row that goes in the middle, it will have stars going across. I hate points, so I may use a fusible to make it easier for turning the points, ahead of time. I will also use the patterned black for that and the outer borders.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, we have rain and snow and cold and not fun weather for being outside.

Free Valentine Cross Stitch Pattern!

I was playing around with my card design and thought it would be a nice cross stitch pattern. This is free to use and you can change it around if you would like for your own use. Nothing fancy, but I think this would look nice on a heart shape or a pillow to hang on a peg rack.

The design is done on 18 count, basic colors were used but you could use variegated colors to give it more movement. I hope you enjoy making the design and would love to see your finished pieces.

I also doodled on the drawing and colored it in for those of you who would like to make an appliqué or stitchery from the design.

Free Halloween Cross Stitch!

This hasn't been my month, I got the bad cold that is going around, so it is mostly resting for me. I have been working a little on my stitcheries, so hopefully I will have more done in a few days. I thought I would do up a little cross stitch to share with my visitors, and hope you like it. Usually I draw a design and then put it in the cross stitch maker which is easier. This time I drew it onto the cross stitch maker and redid things over and over until I got a design I could live with, lol.

Just a little something to have fun with, you can change it up, if you want or do it in stitchery or punch it, it is free use. I just use colors from the picker, so just use your favorite colors and I think it would look nicer with variegated threads for the pumpkins.
