Free snowman stitchery pattern and Father Christmas design

 

Hi everyone, I hope you are all looking forward to Christmas and getting lots of Christmas stitching done, I know I certainly am. Here is another design I have been stitching, it is a freebie stitchery from Jan Wilde of Mulberry Street stitching, you can find the pattern here. Thanks Jan!

I simply love this pattern, you stitch the outline and colour it with colouring pencils, I used silver thread for the snowflakes, the loveheart should be a button but I did not have the right one, I suppose I could have made a polymer clay button but decided not to bother. 

 

Here are some more photographs...........

 

   

 

 

 

Here is the next free pattern I have started, it is another freebie from a blog called Joypatch here, I will be doing a mini tutorial on how to do these stitcheries next Sunday, this one is a real cute design! 

I have finished it but you have to wait until next week because I am off to watch Downton Abbey, it is a period drama showing in England and I simply love it, it is my favourite Sunday night treat.

 

Until next time - Happy Stitching!  

 



Free Christmas Stitchery patterns and a tutorial for a halloween cross stitched scissor fob

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone, I promised I would have something stitched by the middle of October and here it is!

Work asked me to stay another month so I am working until the end of October instead of September, it's no problem, it just means I have not done any cross stitching or had chance to finish the peacock box, however, I have managed to stitch some Christmas Redwork Stitcheries ready for Christmas.  

 

I stitched this Red Brolly design whilst on holiday in September, it is a free pattern from Bronwyn Hayes at the Red Brolly blog, she has some gorgeous free designs, I urge you to go and check them out here  Bronwyn has lots of freebies and some great ideas, I just looooove her blog, thanks Bronwyn!   

 

Pictured below are some other stitcheries I have been working on recently, I particularly like stitcheries because they are so quick to stitch.

In my next post I will show you another piece I am working on,  together with instructions for any beginners out there.

 

At the bottom of this post I have included a link to my Halloween Scissor Fob tutorial.

 

 

 

 

 

I found this cute freebie from Elinskreativeside blog here 

 

 

 

 

Close up to see the fabric and the stitching, I used dmc 304 and 100% cotton fabric

 

Here is a sneak preview of another free pattern that I have been working on, I will give you the link and the full pictures in my next post, hopefully, next Sunday.
