One Thread A Day and Freebie Talk

 I pulled this out last night from time out

ready to tackle all the over ones

the plan is to do one thread per day

some progress is better than none

I've done much more than that since last night

but maybe only one thread in total of the "ones"

they are the partial flower and door on the branch to the right

pattern is Berry Cottage 

by Plum Street Samplers

an old freebie from Betty Dekat

she has a lot of free designs linked on her blog

The Sampler Maker's Farmhouse; Primitive, Vintage, Farmhouse Decor.: Free Primitive Cross Stitch Charts (samplermakerfarmhouse.blogspot.com)

this one I stitched without the border

after choosing to stitch it on prairie cloth

ugh, big mistake

I'll keep that for uncounted stitching from now on

Above are some links to freebies

I hope they work

if not they should be easy to figure out

Be sure to look around the blogs, search for freebies

many designers have more than one

I like them for fast little stitches

but I'm happy to support the artists

by purchasing their other patterns...

otherwise they'll stop designing!

Happy Monday friends

Freebie Snowmen

this is the free version

looking through my old doodles the other day

for a rug swap design

I love to hook snowmen!

 I just don't want to own anymore snowman things

or mostly anymore things at all

still on my long journey

to minimalism

this is the free version

these are very rough doodles

nothing like they will look when I hook them

I encourage you to use them and adapt them

please 

as always

give credit to me for my designs

this is the free version

so this is the fellow I chose to hook

tomorrow I will share with you

the finished hooked rug

the "new improved" version

is available for $10 

on red dot

14" x 14"

shipping included to USA

proceeds to my local

two and four legged charities

Happy Sunday!

Freebies and Cards

these are some oldies...

at least 9-10 years

back when I was doing punchneedle

planned on punching these designs

then putting them on spools

adding stuffed bird and whatnot

today I would hook them

in a heart on a background

then hook the extra birds or hearts around the edge

hope that makes sense...

am going to hook the sheep for mom for Christmas

will share when I get going

 

can't believe our primitive rug hooking group 

on ebay was so long ago...

where I met so many of my dear online friends

2007 anniversary design

I'd change the cat up a bit now

less belly and more leg

please enjoy these freebies for personal use

may also be used for profit in small number of finished items

no selling the pattern in any way

please do not share on Pinterest or other online sites

give credit to me as the designer

and all the other blah blah blah

***** 

as you know if you're a blog reader

my Mom lives in a nursing facility

she has dementia and cannot walk due to a knee fracture

almost 3 years ago

she loves getting mail

especially cards 

if you would be so kind to send her a Christmas card

or later a 93rd birthday card

(January 3rd)

I would be most delighted!

if you're a hooker

write hooker on the back of your envelope

if you're not a hooker

write not a hooker on the back of yours

I have some bags of wool worms

plus other little gifts to send out 

randomly to folks that send her cards...

Wednesday Night

I get the evil eye most days

when playing bingo with mom and her friends...

somebody has to liven things up

(mom asked me to tell everyone to shut up)

this is an oldie

from my Merry Winter booklet

I think I've given this as a freebie before

from one of my booklets

honestly

I've given myself a headache trying to draw

the chair pad with heart/s

loved doing the hearts for Debbie's mat

this one

not so much
