Cottage for Two

This is a chart from a few years back called ‘The Cottage for us Two‘.  It comes from the Gloria Blog.

It makes you want to go in doesn’t it?

Have a great week.

This small stitchery comes from EMS.

Start here. In the center column of the page that loads, find the tab that says “Free”. Once the new page opens, you will see below a link that reads:

Once there click on the DOWNLOADS tab (5th one across the top)

Once there you can select the format of the design you like, PDF, PAT, which is for the product PCStitch, or Machine Embroidery Format.

Scroll through the patterns until you locate this one. If you choose PDF, the whole pattern will download as a PDF.

It sounds like a lot of steps but it’s not too complicated.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend.

Country Cottage

It’s always nice to have a card that expresses care above and beyond the everyday card. Here is a country cottage card stitchery from Cross-stitching .com that would be a delight for someone to receive from you.

You must have an account to download it but it is free.

Enjoy!

Windmill

This charming little windmill chart came from the May 2016 issue of Cross Stitch Collection that I have subscribed to.  Readership must have really fallen off because they are discontinuing the magazine.

       

I chose to not use the Home Sweet Home text and made just the top portion. The chart was fast to stitch but the backstitching took a lot longer.  I don’t mind backstitching but I know many find it a chore so just keep this in mind if you decide to make one for yourself.

Have a great weekend!

Snowdrops

Since my sister-in-law was showing off her snowdrops that have just emerged

I thought I’d share this chart from Durene Jone’s Facebook page from last year.

They are such a wonderful harbinger of Spring.

Have a great week and a great Valentine’s Day.

Toy Train

If you want to make something special for a little person take a look at this chart from …AMINT A FEJEMBOL KIPATTAN

Translation to English is As Soon As It Popped Out of My Head. The chart and color key are on the same page.

I’m glad this one popped out, it’s darling!

Have a great weekend.

Hearts from Zweigart

I thought these hearts to be delightful!  They along with other free charts can be found here.

When you scroll down just under the image there is a link to the PDF where you see these words, “Welcome, detailed instructions.”

Have a fun Valentine stitching week.

Bicycle Valentine

This pattern comes from this month’s edition of Cross Stitch Collection. Unfortunately, they just announced on their Facebook site that the March 2017 edition is the last one they are producing.

It was a lot of fun to stitch. Have a wonderful weekend.
