Freebie - Chartmakers

This was such a sweet little stitchery. It's old too, so I left off the black border with the date in it. I'm still considering whether I will stitch a two-row black border around the whole design though, but for now it is finished:

Prairie Schooler Freebie

I stitched this design twice. The scans don't show the actual colour of the fabric very well, sadly, because they are much nicer in person!

Prairie Schooler Freebies

I've been a bit lax in posting of late, sorry about that. To make up for that, I am posting THREE freebies from the Prairie Schooler. Sad to see that they have shut their doors after 30+ years, but nice to see they are still offering a Prairie Schooler Santa this year :-)

As The Prairie Schooler have ceased business, all the freebies are now retired, so I cannot include links. Apologies.

Durene Jones Freebies

Durene Jones has a lot of freebies on her facebook page. Just search for her there and you will find nearly two years worth of freebies (2015 & 2016). They are well worth joining facebook for :-)

Over the last year and a half, Durene has had a lovely series of flowers going. I chose to stitch the Daisies from this year, as I like daisies, as does my mother (for whom I stitched these).

Enjoy!
