freebies etc skip to main skip to sidebar freebies etc patterns and tutorials for needlepoint and other fine things monday february 21 2011 judy is very ill judy is in hospital and very ill more details will be posted here or at her main website www elegantwhimsies com my name is steve watkins and i am a friend and long time webmaster for judy her family has asked me to help out with the internet aspects of judy s life i have limited access to these blogs and may not be able to update this post we will try to keep this blog updated but due to our limited access that may become a

people with outstanding orders please contact me at steve starnetservices com and i will do the best i can to help you steve watkins posted by possibilities etc at 2 41 pm no comments sunday february 13 2011 kreinik is wired i ve been plodding along on this conical topiary for several weeks just trying to get enough background done to play a bit and see what i could work out for special effects in surface embellishment the kreinik metallics have been wonderful as usual i will explain this on the other blog and just at the best possible moment i received in the mail a few spools of it to try it s very much like the dmc memory thread but is the metallic we all love from this company this is one of my most favorite colors and in the 16 braid which is all that s produced in the hot wire series played with making shapes and worked this out on a pair of fat knitting needles for smoothness and symmetry the method of handling is the same as for the dmc memory thread which i have covered for needlepoint under the label dmc on the other blog i can see a lot of possibilities for this loopy fret as it reminds me of the cloud filling i did from sharon b s pintangle stitch challenge last year this is also seen under dmc on my labels list on the other blog it will require some manual manipulation to get it right on that curve which will appear horizontal when the tree is upright a few weeks ago i saw an ornament with a cording made with dmc memory thread so i decided to see if i could twist the kreinik due to it s nature it isn t easy unless you have a little device for doing it i don t so you need to cut short lengths hold it tightly at both ends and twist fun little tiny candy canes while looking at these think also of the posts i did a few weeks ago on the plain and simple triangular trees they would be great to play with in this manner i ll show the conical topiary sometime tomorrow with updates posted by possibilities etc at 7 38 pm no comments labels kreinik metallics tutorials techniques thursday february 3 2011 more free small motifs for valentines emma broidery on her dmc blog has some really fine small things for downloading and print out these of course will do equally well for counted x stitch or for needlepoint on 18 mesh needlepoint canvas the largest will only be a little over 1 wide some great ideas are already popping into my head such as repeating one or two of them to make ribbons or borders you can go to the side bar on the right side of this blog called good stuff and click on the emma broidery blog button to see all of them i m thinking about asking emma s permission to stitch a few and show some variations etc it s great to get the creative juices flowing posted by possibilities etc at 3 18 pm no comments labels dmc free charts ornaments counted x stitch tuesday february 1 2011 free small patterns from liz morrow liz morrow lizart is celebrating the first year anniversary of her web page where she has delightful patterns to sell by offering a new free pattern called small things these are delightful tiny patterns that could be inserted into bigger ones or they might be used as a central motif for building something a bit larger around them remember that charts work as well for both needlepoint and counted cross stitch you can download this and print it out just click on the free design button to see it the web page is here posted by possibilities etc at 10 35 am 2 comments labels ornaments counted x stitch monday january 17 2011 shells for ornaments i found two more pictures of sea shells these were for a friend who wanted to decorate a small tree for her studio a finisher they are relatively small at just 4 3 4 high for the blue shell and 5 high for the yellow one before adding the outline for finishing of course you could enlarge either of them and even put them on larger mesh canvas for a pillow or purse inset i may decide i need to stitch this blue one for myself as i see petite very velvet for the blue areas or could even use a different color then the kreinik 12 braid in 002v or the vintage silver can t remember the name of it right now and my color card is in a drawer across the room the nacre finish of the pink orange lip needs to be done in dmc satin floss and the pearls are bump stitches with renaissance shimmer or rainbow gallery flair i didn t add jewels to the yellow one as i like the markings and the shine on it better i hope you enjoy these and can use them for yourselves and as gifts there are lots of tutorials on this blog and on possibilities etc to guide you in canvas prepraration if you haven t seen them i m still working on the trees as i can see them as table settings through all seasons or on the mantel posted by possibilities etc at 9 40 pm no comments labels sea shells and fish thursday january 13 2011 more patterns for sea shells i actually found the file folder with my sea shells in it so will present them here for your use and enjoyment there are plenty of tutorials and instructions on this blog here and there to get you started drawing and painting on canvas the outlines of course could also be used for other things both needlework and other painting related crafts the outlines are the shapes of actual shells in the range of 5 1 2 high but i had a lot of fun painting them in exotic colors instead of the realistic ones you could always consult a shell dictionary for that if you would rather do the real thing i can see the potential here for some really pretty threads such as the dmc satin floss in the pearl interior of the shell please excuse the tilted drawing it s late and i was too tired lazy to remove the thing from the scanner and straighten it out i hope you enjoy these as i have several more i want to show in the next day or two posted by possibilities etc at 9 14 pm 1 comment labels jeweled stuff sea shells and fish tuesday january 11 2011 wonderful color schemes for any who didn t see my post a few weeks ago on possibilities be sure to visit this site of kristina s and watch her develop color schemes from her beautiful photographs i especially like the way she shows these swatches with the colors in proportion to how they show in the pictures as this is a freebies blog you are usually in the position of selecting your own colors so this would be a great aid in doing so when dumping out the stash to pull out what you want to use for a project besides it s interesting to see what she has added each monday go to kristina klarin s blog to see be sure to click on colour files on the left side panel to see the swatches without the pictures in storage posted by possibilities etc at 10 37 am no comments labels choosing colors inspiration older posts home subscribe to posts atom search
