Freebie to Make for a Child Learning the Alphabet

Stitch something quick and fun to challenge a little one learning the alphabet.  It’s a kind of a  Where’s Waldo for letters.  Bubbles pop against a blue sky background and hide the alphabet, but they don’t make it too difficult to find all 26 letters … plus a few punctuation marks.  The design is free for your personal use only, and under my copyright. 

  Happy Stitching!

Frederick Douglass Quote ~ in Alt Colors 2012

2/19/12   Yup, you’re spot on Torque, and thank you for mentioning it.  This is what comes from surfing the internet for quotes that one likes and assuming that a given attribution is correct.   It’s easy enough to  copy the last “s” and add another as there’s sufficient space to the right, but I’ll  redo the chart (and the original chart) and post corrections as soon as I can.   Until then, Stitchers please take note!    ~~ The 2012 edition is now corrected.  I’ll get to the 2011 edition tomorrow.

Remy

2/13/12 Sometimes I like to go back to a design and change things a bit.  Here is a 2011 design in new colors and new threads.  His message bears repeating.

Happy Stitching!    Happy Black History Month!

Freebie ~ Dora’s Sampler

   First of February Freebie for a beginning stitcher, or any stitcher who would like a tiny sampler to stitch.  Dora’s Sampler measures only  2  5/8″  X  6  5/8″  on 14 ct material.  Great for using lovely left-over silks and flosses!  Best of luck to Dora as she starts cross stitching!

Happy Stitching!

Peanut and her Binkie

     Peanut’s favorite binkie is her own tail!  It’s always handy, comfortably worn, and perfect to snuggle with before sleeping.  And Peanut sleeps a lot … seemingly all the time.   But if the refrigerator door opens, or someone makes an interesting, food-related noise, she’s instantly there.   She’s the  only cat not bothered by the camera.   The others will turn away from the lens, Peanut just stares it down.  We also call her  Bumpy because she’s always ramming her little round head into one’s legs to show her affection.
