Fleur De Lis Freebie!

Fleur De Lis ~ Free PDF Cross Stitch Pattern

Sew French

 A fleur de lis is a French-style lily. 

This free pattern is from my heart to yours. It's dedicated to Mother Angelica and Saint Therese Of Lisieux. I love to begin my day with a hot cup of tea, quiet prayer and stitchery. It centers my soul.  

It's a great beginners project because it uses one color. Like all my charts, this one is very easy to follow. It can be stitched with white DMC floss (found in most craft stores) or French silk floss. Follow my suggestions or stitch it in your favorite color. It's pretty done with French blue floss on white linen too. 

This gentle needlework project can be worked in bed under cozy quilts with a cup of tea, or in the sunshine, offering a creative escape.

French Rose Pattern

Late afternoons are spent walking my beagle on the Charles River path in the crisp New England air. Cozy nights are spent under soft quilts, stitching pretty things. Evening comes early.  Candles are lit. Twinkle lights are strung and the kettle is heated for peppermint tea. Life is simple this Christmas season and it feels good.

This delicate French rose cross stitching project is charming and quick. It's a good introduction to counted cross stitch because it uses only two colors. Frame it in a hoop and hang it on a wall as a pretty piece of art. It makes a sweet ornament or handmade gift. It's a fun Valentine's Day project too.

For this project I used Needlepoint Inc Chinese silk thread. It's has a beautiful shine. I once had the pleasure of visiting the San Francisco shop, located on Union Square. All those gorgeous threads in one place, I was in heaven. But you can swap the Chinese silk floss for red and green DMC floss. Alternately, the rose can be stitched in your favorite colors. Make a pink rose or a lavender one if that's what you prefer.  I suggest stitching it while a good movie is playing on TV. Have fun and make this project your own. It's my present to you. I wish every one of you a peaceful, joyous and blessed Christmas!
