Free Stitchery Designs

Good morning lovely people. I decided to pass the "Happy Hat" around because I am  fed up to my back teeth with the grim news being fed to us at every turn....
So I am posting on here 6 little stitchery drawing photos (still can't work out the scanning bit yet) that you can save the images for and stitch if you choose.
I stitched them as framed hexies......but you could use them in lots of different ways.
They would make nice needlebook covers.....or a little wall hanging perhaps in a table runner......Love to know how and if you stitch them.


I know that you will all do the right thing and not use them commercially but I hope they will brighten up this time if you want some quiet stitching to keep your thoughts in a restful place.
As I type this post I am sitting in my living room overlooking my little front patio.....a little somebody is keeping an eye on me.
He was very relaxed when I went out very close to him to take a snap.....

He often visits and just rests there for ages. I don't know if he gets fed elsewhere and is hoping he might get lucky here. I don't fed them as I don't want them dependent on me. Also I have seen him hunting in my garden for lizards.
As they say it is the small things........
Encounters with wildlife is always a privilege.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx

  2. I love your designs, and thank you for those.
    We are on a farm in rural Vic, and I heard a kookaburra laughing the other day in the trees that are not far from our house yard. We have lots of parrots visiting at times, plus a number of magpies that visit every day, even going so far as to peck on the sliding door looking for a feed. The dogs and birds tolerate one another - as long as the end result is a snack for all.

  10. Thank you so much for your lovely stitcheries. The photos of the bird, so beautiful. My hubby and I are both senior so we are a lot in our home these days. Luckily we have a big garden so we can enjoy the outside air when it is not too cold and wet.

  19. I live in the Far North of New Zealand and we have a small, but keen group of stitchers - we also visit Country Yard , and I have just joined their new Facebook page which has led me to you . I would like to use your Happy Hat patterns - something that our ladies could do - we all have scraps of fabric and threads and at the moment this would be something nice to do - I would base the challenge on Country Yard's challenge - it looks fun and I love your designs ty Lizzie - moynahanliz@gmail.com

  21. I so enjoyed reading your last post,Michelle. What a fabulous get together...all those treats and such gorgeous stitching by an obviously very talented group of ladies. So nice to see you! Meanwhile, how generous you are to share these stitcheries. Adorable of course. Was that a kookaburra bird? Amazing to see one closeup like that. He has quite the beak, I guess good for hunting lizards!

  22. Thank you so much for once again sharing your amazing talent with us. I am looking forward to stitching these. With the stressful time and now just experiencing a frightening 5.7 earthquake, it is nice to have something to do that brings joy and keeps my fingers busy.
