Stitcheries

Jennifer Reynolds has some lovely freebie stitcheries:  http://www.elefantz.com/ .  Check out her BOM for 2012.  It is the "Promises and Borders" stitchery and will stay up on her website indefinitely but you should probably get it while you can. 

Val Laird---see her blog link above or go to her home page:  http://val-laird.blogspot.com/ , then look in the side bar for the link for "free patterns."  She doesn't keep her patterns up indefinitely so you should download them as they become available.
