I have these two darling finishes to share....
 |
| "Merry Christmas" freebie -- Threadworks Primitive |
Nan at Threadwork Primitives offered this sweet freebie and nothing says Christmas to me more than bright red and mossy green....I just love these colors together. I picked up the fabric last weekend at Joann's during their Veteran's Day sale and just had to use them so I picked my fibers to match. I just love the way it turned out and will definitely go back to get more of this red fabric....especially before it goes off sale!

| "Simplify" freebie -- Primitivebettys |
Don't you just love this freebie from primitivebettys? I picked this fabric up in Myrtle Beach a few weeks ago and just couldn't wait to use it. I decided I would modify the fibers to match and love it too! I just love the message in this one and the good thing is it matches our decor so it will definitely be on display all year round.

Well...I am off to stitch another freebie, La D Da's "Free-bee One Two". I picked up the cutest pink/brown plaid fabric so hopefully I will have another finish this weekend. I already have my next project ready to go. I am starting a SAL with Lee (Lake Stitcher) on Tuesday and we will be stitching La D Da's "Live Laugh Love". I have been stitching smalls lately and this will be my first "big girl" project in quite a while so I am excited to get this one going.

I hope you are all having a great stitching weekend, and, as always, thanks for visiting!
