A little more stitching

 

I've been working on this for a few months....

one of those things you start and put away and move on to something else 

and then remember "Oh Yes, I forgot about YOU"!!

 So I'm almost finished with the small sampler 

and I need to finish the Sewing Machine...maybe a mattress pincushion...

One more thing with the first 150 of these designs going out

 I will include a little scissor charm with the hanger...

I think I'll put mine on the pincushion....

Can't wait to share more and "But God" is finished too

 I just need to iron, frame and make directions....

have a good Monday :)

How I Design and Create a Pattern

 I thought I would share with you "How I Design and Create the Patterns"

Most of the time I scribble down the idea's 

and then draw them out in quick sketches. 

I found these pictures that I had saved in one of my scrap books

...started spring cleaning, good thing I never threw these out :)

These pictures are from the design "Time for Seasons", 

this was originally a Stitch-A-Long 

and has been released in the Etsy shop as a PDF.

It's so funny that I came across these 

and then I realized that

                                              Pam from "Just Keep Stitchin" on Youtube 

is starting to stitch this design for her February 2024 stitching project.

 She actually purchased the last of the Stitch A Long Kits that I had, 

so she has some of the extra's that were included with the Stitch-A-Long.

Here is a link for her Video sharing all of her 24 starts for 2024, 

check it out, she is going to be one busy lady :)

Here we go.......follow the pictures :)

I think the only thing I did not mention is that I usually design with DMC in mind 

and then if I feel I would like to use another floss company I just change it as I go. 

I hope this was interesting for you and you can design too :)

Just be creative

Winter Holiday Free Designs

 

Link Here for last years post for the free designs.

I have not posted much at all this year...I do miss all of and sharing some stitching work.

I will try harder this year to share more. I need to get organized and basically more focused.

I have been busy with Family, church, and many other things, so I am sitting here with a book to Plan.

My goal is to plan for every week and try my best to accomplish those goals, everything is God willing.

That is what Pastor Gough used to say to us for all of his plans. :)

So while I am working on my book of goals I thought I should at least share my previous years free designs, you never know if there is someone new that has not seen them yet.

Have a good rest of the week!! and more sharing to come :)

hugs
