Free Patterns for Valentine's Day
Hi folks! Happy February! I'm thrilled to share my latest collection of free cross stitch patterns, perfect for sprucing up your crafting this season! Among these, the highlight is the charming "We Make the Perfect Pear" pattern. It's an adorable choice for a handmade Valentine's Day card or a delightful framed decoration. This pattern, with its blend of whimsy and sentiment, is sure to add a touch of warmth and personality to your Valentine's Day celebrations or your home decor. Join me in stitching this lovely design and spread the joy of handcrafted love!
Craft Tip: When you are finished with your stitching project and would like to add it to a card, I highly recommend using double sided tape instead of glue as it holds better and creates less of a gap between the cardstock and the fabric!
PS: The pattern for the Cute-Cumber card will be up on the blog soon! Crafter Showcase:Sheep Shaved - Crochet Designer If you know me, you know I am a big big fan of Sheep Shaved!
