The People's Choice

Today is the first Saturday of the month. The lovely Jo is hosting another wonderful SAL this year of course. Stop over here to see all who check in. Don't feel bad about checking this one out. It's all about freebies so if you do get enabled at least it's free haha.








For some reason I've found a lot of beautiful freebies lately just begging to be stitched.

Astrid stitched up this adorable dragon for Valentine's Day...

I found out it's a freebie from Dragon Dream's Facebook page. Go here to find it.

Then I seen this beautiful piece at Mary's Thread blog...

You can find the pattern here for this beautiful piece.

This is another beauty I seen a lot this year...

It is available at Scarlette House's Facebook page. I printed it out right away when I found it. So adorable.


I've stitched quite a few freebies myself. One this past Thanksgiving from Erica Michael's...

You can find it on her Facebook page.

This cute set of monthlies I stitched last year are from Durene Jones's Facebook group. I really enjoyed them.

Look at this little St Patrick's Day cutie I just found...

Here is where you can find the pattern. Wonder if I'll have time to squeeze it in before St Patty's Day? Would make a cute pillow for my shelf unit wouldn't it?

I know there are more out there. Seriously you could probably never buy a pattern again.....but what fun would that be. Designers are so kind and share their fantastic abilities quite often. I definitely do my part to pay back for their generosity. 

Now I have a funny story about freebies. One time several many years ago I got into canvas work or some people call it counted thread. It's a lot of specialty stitches and most the time look like geometric type designs. Of course now I can't find a picture it's been that long ago. I was so excited to find this freebie and I printed it out to stitch it. I got the list of threads I needed and started looking them up. It was going to cost me $150 to kit up the threads I needed. So much for being a freebie! Needless to say I didn't stitch it. I enjoy laughing about how sometimes those freebies aren't really freebies at all.

Next month the theme is Specialty Stitches. Now I'm off to see who all joined in. I'm sure I'll find some new freebies I will want to stitch.
