Surprises in store!!


All week I have been learning how to convert files into pdf. format, so I will be able to share some of my designs with you! I'm so excited about this! I have 2 new freebie patterns to share. The first one is called "May Baskets". It is a little spring design in beautiful cottage-y colors.
Here is a preview, though I won't have the file ready to download until sometime tomorrow.
The second one is a patriotic design called "Uncle Sam rides a Crow." I don't have a preview yet, but stay tuned!!!

I'm so disappointed!


This is my newest design called May Baskets, which I have designed in beautiful cottagey colors. I have tried for a week to get it up on my blog as a PDF file, but to no avail. Finally after hours of frustration, I have finally figured out the problem. My charting software will not export the chart properly unless I upgrade itto professional. I have already planned to do that, but with graduations, recitals, school plays, class trips, and the usual amount of sports fees etc. along with a dismal spring for my doll pattern business, I cannot afford the upgrade right now.
I have stitched the major motifs, in order to be sure they were charted correctly. I am using 2 strands of DMC on 32 count antique white linen from Zweigart. I will add a WIP as soon as I can, but I wanted to get the chart on here for you before May was over! LOL!
