That's a really nice piece. You can also look on the Caron website, there
are a lot of freebies there, with great instructions.

Well, depending, we might be able to do some conversions, and then arrange
to send supplies to those who need them.

Some of the RG threads can be subbed with other ribbons, or Kreinik, some
not. But, "we" know how to get them pretty easily.

I would be interested in participating too. I like any of those Laura Perin
designs, especially the Blackwork Mystery or the Summer Flower Boxes. Cats
and Bats would be perfect if this was October, so I'm definitely going to
print that one out to do for Halloween. Gotta love the black scaredy
kitties.

What happened to the canvaswork idea? Laura J. Perin has some great
free designs.

Look here: http://laurajperindesigns.tripod.com/id30.htm

This Heart's for You or any of the seasonal designs. I like Winter
Breeze, but I love blue. I'd be willing to come up with color
conversions if needed.

I like these--thanks Donna for the link. I think any of them would make a
great stitch along. Since these are pattern and texture, not realistic
pictures, those of us who are comfortable changing colours and threads
could go ahead and stitch along in colours we like.

I have had a hankering to stitch some geometric type of thing, since you
gals started posting the lovely stuff you have recently finished, or
worked on. Not being particularly artistic or adventurous I would
probably stay with the threads and colors prescribed.

Ditto. Laura's designs would be perfect. I like the Stitcher's Challenge
ones, and personally would pick one that has at least 1 "specialty" stitch
in it. Several fo them are essentially all satin stitch variaations -
scotch stitch & satin. Great for beginning canvas - just a couple of
pointers so they do well. I like Winter winds, too.

I really like the summer breeze, and all of the seasonal ones. And could
easily give you some other colorways (especially since I've done several
based around a Watercolours variegated cotton, with accompanying other
cottons and metallics). Plus, I'd be willing to put up some instructions to
the group for any of the "complicated" stitches.

Anyhow, these are a nice size - not too big.

LMK - happy to help if I can - without being obnoxious, or presumptious....
