In case you haven’t noticed yet, I’m a cat lover. Even worse, I’m the kind of girl that shouts “Hey kitty-kitty” and tries to make friends with every cat in sight… Anyway, here are some of my newest cat designs!
All designs are available in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyStitchNet
Enjoy!
Today’s free pattern is a simple folk-style flower that is adapted from a vintage painting that I found on Pinterest. The size of the pattern makes it great to use for a 10 x 15 cm postcard (4 ” x 6 ”).

If you spent some time here on my blog, you definitely know my favourite animal. Yes, I love cats. And that is exactly the line that I put on the cross stitch sampler pattern that is going to become my second project for the Punk Projects Craft Challenge.
The pattern (as most of my cross stitch patterns here) is absolutely free. Scroll down to download full pattern in printable PDF format.

Have you noticed, that there is a new sub-category in the Patterns section of the blog? It’s called Alphabets, and if I started it, I should as well populate it 🙂 So here is a nice and simple alphabet in black and yellow, with some busy bees flying around the letters. The yellow patches on the letters represent honeycombs.
You can stitch it as a sampler, or use any letters (and bees) separately to make names or quotes.
Busy Bee alphabet sampler
Colors: black, yellow. Stitches used: full cross stitches, back stitches (bee wings)
A perfectly normal sampler except that it has Klingon pIqaD alphabet and numbers 🙂
I have to admit that I haven’t seen much of the original Star Trek series. But I bumped accidentally into Wikipedia article on Klingon language and was quite amazed how much effort was built into developing the Star Trek universe in whole and Klingon part of it in particular.

Это больше шутка, конечно, но вдохновленная не только современными продолжениями франшизы (оригинального сериала я практически не видела, к сожалению), но и тем, что клингонский язык был действительно разработан продюсерами и специалистами. Более того, в мире есть люди, которые могут на нем разговаривать! Continue reading “Klingon cross stitch sampler”
Inspired by all beautiful samplers on Pinterest: “Happy Easter” sampler (maybe not exactly a sampler, but something very similar) with easter eggs, chickens and tulips. I made it in red, but it can be embroidered with any color you like.
I never did samplers before, this one is the very first and I hope you will like it!
