FREE REDWORK PDF

YEA!!!! I FINALLY GOT the HOLIDAY LANE in REDWORK  PDF DONE!!
Several months back I participated in a HOLIDAY LANE PILLOW (to post)
click on photo to see almost 300 pics of entries by people everywhere.
Madam Samm's Pinterest Page for Holiday Lane
 

 Blog hop put on by none other than the fantastic, Madam Samm of Sew We Quilt.  And the beautiful pattern to inspire us was provided to us free by Jill Finley of Jillily Studio.   Well sometimes, I just can't leave things as is, so I played with her pattern to see what kinds of things I could make with her wonderful idea.  Below is one of my entries in this hop.  It is such a good design it worked up beautifully many ways.  Thank you JILL for sharing your version with all of us  

 

Many of you asked about buying the pattern..............I cannot sell what is not mine.  But I will give it away free WITH PERMISSION.  This is Jill's pattern that I did in redwork rather than applique, but she has graciously allowed me to put up a tutorial for a few months on how to do her pillow - REDWORK STYLE (do you hear music and imagine Gundham Style dancers?) lol just kidding.  soooo without any further adieu.....

.you need to do this....

First: Go here to get JILL"S PATTERN - you will need it.  She has several cute free thingson her blog you may want to look around but come back to the free fun stuff page and make sure you download HOLIDAY LANE PILLOW.  Make sure you print her Applique page.  If you are making a pillow you will also need to read through her pattern to get fabric requirements for borders and backing etc.,  We are not piecing the front of the pillow.  I did not read her directions top to bottom.  I cut whatever I thought I needed.......I have sewn for years and am notorious for not reading directions once I get the general idea.  There are no quilt police are there??   I just made it my size, it's close enough for me.
  
Second: hop over to her blog here And she has lots of cute things there too, but leave her a nice compliment ans PEASE, pease tell her
THANK YOU for ALLOWING me to share my version with YOU.   I really appreciated it that she allowed me to do this for you.  Respect her as the designer and do this please.  Cyndi

Third: did you do the first two, especially the second one???

Have fun stitching Peppermint Holiday Lane!  
NOTE: you have until JUNE 30, 2013 to download this. Then my version will be gone. 

In the meantime I will be stitching - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - but on something else....
how about you, what are you stitching?  Cyndi

OOPS! Stitch Me Up sign up begins Wednesday


Stitch, stitch, stitch, it's what I do, what about you? Sometimes I stitch by machine and sometimes by hand. But when it comes to embroidery, it's all by hand. Several months ago Madam Samm asked two of us to design a couple of things for you to stitch.  I drew lots of things and had pare it down to a few. And now she's ready to get people to sign up!! THANK YOU Madam Samm for believing in me and giving me this opportunity!!
Oh and she also got Debbie from BUSY AS CAN BE to design some things and she has links to lots of stitching videos from the stitch master MARY CORBET from NEEDLE 'n THREAD....LOVE HER.....I get email updates of her newsletter everyday.  If there's anything you need on a stitching how to it's at her site. 
I'm sorry for those who read this before....I'M SORRY I DIDN'T READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF HER POST.  She posted it Monday night and it said tomorrow I thought she meant Tuesday but I guess she intended for everyone to read it Tuesday, making tomorrow, Wednesday. SORRY,  SOOOOO

IN YOUR WORDS,  the first of Madam Samm's WONDERFUL blog hops for the year 2013.  I thought about this a LOT, thousands of words, ideas, concepts all the things I have done and they pretty much always linked back to the word I chose.  And because of time and a secret project I am working on that Madam Samm has in the lineup for later in the year for you, I am just going to leave it here, with just a few words.
 My project's word has been all of me for my whole life, both good things and some not so good things,  but it made and makes me happy and in the end that says it all.

 

 Hopefully, I figured it out if not, scroll to the bottom.

And for those of you who like quick stitch projects here's a freebie!
 Click on link below the picture.

I may not be able to get a picture of the heart but if you click on the In Your Words Heart  Freebie words it will take you to Google docs for the PDF.

What is your WORD,

or WORDS?  Those that are the most significant to you, this was a question posed to us last month. and I thought about it for a long time. Even got a piece of paper and did the cloud thing the all the thoughts randomly placed around the main thought.  (which is a really good way to think by the way at least if you are easily sidetracked, like me.  One look to the middle and back on track again.)  Madam Samm has a blog hop lined up so that you can see other peoples WORDS.
