Puppet Freebie

This one is very old indeed. It comes from a DMC booklet published back around the late 1800s in France. It is now in the public domain in a few places, but I am including the link for the easiest of places to get it, plus she has a whole bunch of really nice other public domain freebies there too :-)

Happy New Year!

This year I have decided to stitch only Freebies. It's something I've wanted to do for ages, and have been planning to do, but never really got around to. It seems that just when I decide to only stitch freebies, a non-free design catches my eye..... :-)

Anyway, to start off the year, in what will hopefully be a Freebie-only year, I give you a lovely little design from Homespun Elegance. You will have to pardon the fact that I have yet to iron it:

FREEBIE - Peace and Cheer:

Design: Peace and Cheer

Designer: Homespun Elegance

Fabric: 18ct white aida

Threads: Cheap thread pack colours of my own choice
