Oak Nut Madness
It’s Finally here … the sampler I literally dreamed up back in March. I actually woke up with the first several bands in my head! I must have been dreaming about stitching, but I couldn’t remember the dream … only the image of this sampler.
I’ve been tinkering with it ever since. Inspiration does strike frequently, but she’s definitely got ADD and she’s on to something else in a heartbeat, leaving me to clean up the details.
Oak Nut is 5 1/2 ” X 12 7/8″ on 16ct, in 15 colors and 3 specialty stitches.
Oak Nut is free for your personal use only.
Happy Stitching!
Remy
PS There are also 4 French Knots for the squirrels’ eyes

“Julian of Norwich cried out for joy when she took an acorn into her hand, not because she held an oak tree in a tiny casket, but because that smooth, oval, polished thing that fitted into the palm of her hand had life and it was only through God, only because God its creator lived and gave it life!”

Talk in bed with my husband late at night and then go for an early breakfast... ie, have his total undivided attention, and luxuriate in it. Talk with our son without cell phones, ipods, etc at a family meal. Go to lunch with a friend and laugh till our sides hurt. Go to a good library or bookstore and browse. Go to the theater when both the play and the seats are good. Stay home and do absolutely nothing.

I just wanted to thank you for the lovely sampler and I wanted to pass the love on by putting this up on my blog. If this bothers you I will take it down. Again, thanks for such a delightful project!
Hi Carrie,
You’re welcome! Thank you for your kind words. I’d be happy to have you post a link to my blog for Oak Nut. I’d love to see your stitching as it progresses … please send me a picture, and with your permission I’ll post a link to your blog.

Hi Alexounette78
Thank you very much. I’m sorry that you cannot access my designs from my blog. I sent you a message on your web page to contact me.

Hello Remy
Your sampler is so beautifull but I don’t have any box ;(((((
Hi Remy, There is a box on the right, but it isn’t green and if I click on it, nothing happens. Any ideas how I can get it to work or any other options to get the patter (or patterns)? Any help would be appreciated. (I have PDF and can download html and Pattern files). Thank you again. Delores
Hi Delores,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! On the right hand side of my blog there should be a green box (widget provided by WordPress) , titled, MY SHARED FILES. In it are all my free designs available for your personal use. Oak Nut should currently be at the top of that list. You can scroll through the titles and download the ones you want. Oak Nut Madness has 3 files: a picture, similar to what shows on the blog, a color chart and a symbol chart. You click on them and they’ll download to whatever spot you’ve designated on your computer. I always send mine to my desktop first, and then put them into files.
Occasionally the green box doesn’t show on someone’s computer. I’m not sure why. If you run into a problem, let me know.
Happy Stitching!
Remy
This is really neat. I am new to doing this. How do I get the color code for the symbols used and is there a printable chart? I just love fall and acorns (and squirrels–feed several of them on my deck). Thank you. Sincerely, Delores
