Cross Stitch Happy: I'm Soooo Excited!!!

Welcome!

As you can probably tell, I love counted cross stitch! Like most stitchers, I have a huge collection of purchased patterns, but I take great delight in finding new free charts. I have started this blog as a "Pay It Forward" thank you to all the generous stitchers who have provided free cross stitch charts throughout the years, from all around the world. I enjoy designing simple charts as much as I like stitching, so I will post free charts I have designed here for all to access. I hope you will enjoy the charts as much as I have enjoyed designing them and as much as I have delighted in the charts others have done!

I'm Soooo Excited!!!

The first entry for the Cheetah Needlework Set Drawing has arrived and it's a beauty!! Candace S. did an outstanding job on the whole set - beautifully stitched, expertly finished and very artistically embellished! Look at those details she added on the spine of the needle case! Thanks so much, Candace, for making my simple design look like a million bucks!!
