Freebie Friday 7-18-14

Today, we celebrate the butterfly!

Monarch Butterfly Counted Cross Stitch Pattern PDF Chart

Butterflies are amazing. There is nothing as spellbinding as the migration of the beautiful monarch butterfly. They make the trek from the southern edge of Canada to the Mexican border in large groups that flit about in harmony. They are an outstanding and gorgeous butterfly alone, but when they are in a group, they are breathtaking.
Because I know that you love butterflies as much as I do, this pattern was created to celebrate the flight of the beautiful Monarch butterfly. This is a wonderful pattern for a kitchen, bedroom or as a wall hanging in the sunroom that you sit in and watch the butterflies flit around your flower garden. If you need a little cheering up on a drab winter day, sit down and stitch this pattern together. You will be glad that you did.
Canvas: Aida 14
Colors: 8
Floss: DMC
Stitches: 100 x 100
Size: 7.14 x 7.14 inches or 18.14 x 18.14 cm

You will receive this patten as a digital download and will need Adobe Acrobat to view it. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free download at www.adobe.com.

Freebie Friday – 7-11-14

My posts will resume today, and we will start with the Freebie for the day here.

Without further ado:

Apple Tree Counted Cross Stitch Pattern

I grew up eating apples fresh from grandma's apple trees and watched in horror as my dad ate them green with salt. While I never was a fan of an apple pie, I do like red delicious ripe apples as a snack. Particularly if you are going to serve them to me covered in melted caramel! Here is a simple little pattern that I drew up depicting a branch of an apple tree with a couple ripe apples. If you prefer, you can make yours green!

It is a quick stitch, and it is a slender pattern ready to pick a frame size for it. I did add a lot of backstitching that you can choose not to do, but it is a rather simple color outline backstitch.

  • Fabric: 14 count Aida
  • Counted Cross Stitch
  • Stitches:  41 x 83
  • Size: 2.93 x 5.93 inches or 7.44 x 15.06 cm
  • Colours: DMC
  • Count: 5 with black backstitch
  • Original artwork

You will receive this pattern as a digital download and will need Adobe Acrobat to view it. Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded at www.adobe.com.

All patterns are computer generated and you are receiving the pattern only. You are not receiving a finished product.

All additional supplies, ie. canvas, floss, frames, etc. are your responsibility to purchase.

Regular price: $3

Get this pattern today only for free. It goes back to regular price on Saturday, July 12, 2014.

They Go Round and Round

As I posted before, my fascination of carousel horses stems from growing up not only horse crazy, but having grandparents that took us camping at a park in Iowa that had a merry go round. Every little girl’s dream horse! No hay to carry and no buckets of water to drag up from the creek.

My mom got me a very treasured book titled Painted Ponies. It is available on Amazon, and you can find it on My Picks list below. It is the one by William  Manns. I used that book to do several drawings, and since I had a new box of Prisma colors, it wasn’t hard to just start coloring horses. :)

I added one of my drawings to my counted cross stitch collection.

    Space the Final Frontier

    I love space. It sounds silly, and I am not really a science nerd, but I am an adventurous soul that has a very active imagination. Not that I would go into space, no sir, I will stay right here, but I will gaze at it for hours on end. The Hubble telescope is my most favorite thing in the whole world. It has opened up the amazing depth of this universe to us little people.

    Just look:

    Who isn’t amazed by this type of image?

    I took one of the better known Hubble shots and transformed it into a pattern that would be amazing on anyone’s walls.

    Perfect for any space geek’s home. Maybe even yours.

    Enjoy,

    Julie and Blu

    PS – We will be adding more spacey things to the patterns, so if you want to make sure you don’t miss a single space shot, then sign up for our newsletter.

    Fractal Art

    I love chaos! The more chaos I see, the happier I am. At least that is how I see my fractal art. I fell in love with this mathematical delight about 20 years ago, and since then, I have used these fractals in every conceivable manner. Every year, I sponsored the Women in Math group at a New England school by providing them with a hundred of my fractal art cards for their graduation notices. I have not done that in a couple years, but it was a lot fun.

    My fractal art is seen on cards, mugs, shirts and everything that I could have it printed on. This is an example of my Hearts on Fire poster.

     image

    I have now taken my fractal art to the needle. I am currently working on adding patterns that include this artwork for counted cross stitch. These patterns are more complex, but they make wonderful wall hangings, so they are worth working on.

    This tiger lily piece is an example of how intricate and delicate these patterns can be when they are finished.

    • Fabric: 14 count Aida
    • Counted Cross Stitch
    • Stitches:  260 x 200
    • Size: 18.57 x 14.29 inches or 47.17 x 36.29 cm
    • Colors: DMC
    • Count: 34
    • Original artwork

    Pretty cool, huh?

    Enjoy,

    Julie and Blu

    Not Your Average Sunflower

    Sunflowers are such cheery flowers! They are depicted in art, music, floral arrangements, home decor and even abstract paintings. The sunflower is a bold flower that turns its head to face the sun, so flowers facing the east in the morning will be facing west in the evening. Or so the legend goes, although it has never been totally proven or disproven. You decide.

    These gorgeous flowers can be huge. They make a great oil for cooking, and the seeds are a favorite snack for all. They have a lot of nutritional value as well.

    Vincent van Gogh did a series of sunflowers that did not always depict them as cheerful. Here is one of his happier vases.

    I have created sunflowers in fractal format titled Sunflower Sneezes, and that has now been translated into a counted cross stitch pattern.

    • Fabric: 14 count Aida
    • Counted Cross Stitch
    • Stitches:  228 x 200
    • Size: 16.29 x 14.29 inches or 41.37 x 36.29 cm
    • Colors: DMC
    • Count: 40
    • Original artwork

    Enjoy,

    Julie and Blu
