Free Cross Stitch Patterns

I love looking at various sites on the net and noting anything free that I would like to stitch myself. I usually have a list of downloaded patterns waiting in the queue so I thought today I'd share some of them with you.  Today's list is cross stitch patterns. While I support and purchase patterns from the wonderful designers out there, it is also wonderful when they share free patterns from time to time. 

I belong to a Facebook group that shares free cross stitch patterns.Free Printable Cross Stitch Patterns is the one I belong to if you'd like to check it out.

                                      The wonderful Not Forgotten Farm is an interesting site that generously offers a bank of free patterns to cross stitch.  This is a great site to explore as they also have free tutorials and links to their Farm Shop, Youtube channel and Ebay Store all featuring the folk art and needlework of Peter and Lori Bechlin.  These are primitive type designs and I love them. And oh yes, there are also rug hooking designs.  This is just one example of the many freebies they offer for personal use.

                               
A free owl cross stitch...owls are my favourites.  This one I tracked down at the Cross Stitching Mania blog site 2014, but you can still copy the pattern.  I must remember to share the owl cam I am following in another post.

I came across another site that offers cross stitch kits to purchase and also generously includes a couple of pages of lovely free designs.
The site is Brooke's Books Publishing and most of the designs are the personal work of Brooke Nolan.

I have downloaded Brooke's Stitcher's Alphabet...it is adorable and free. The little squares would take no time to work up.
Y is for Yarn.  So cute.

                                                          


Brooke hosts a very busy interactive Yahoo group where she also shares free designs with her members.  In particular, I love the House For All Seasons series.
 Here you can be taken to Craftsy where these patterns are a free download.
 My favourite is the Winter house with the little cardinal on the roof top.

I'm always impressed and grateful when designers share their talent for free.
