[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 479308, member: 1233"] Given out horrible financial state, we are making gifts/ornaments/etc.... out of what we have and what we can find for free. I am doing a lot of cross stitching, gift bag making, etc... plus making some simple and fast ornaments out of scraps of fabric etc...... I have been scouring the web for free cross stitch designs/charts from all sorts of places. I know many of you don't cross stitch, or don't want to do big charts, etc..... Those that don't cross stitch can use the charts for plastic canvas, latch hook rugs (small ones), rug hooking (my mom uses some of my charts for this and says they work very well), or even for those perler beads that you arrange on a pegboard and then melt with an iron to make a shape that lasts. I will HAPPILY send files to you if you want them. MANY are fairly small, 50x 50 or smaller, and can be done fairly fast with any of those methods. If you have an idea of what you want, Christmas, religious, snowmen, crosses, trees, cats, dogs, etc..... let me know and if I have something I will send it. Heck, if you wanted you could use paint and either make dots to look like the stitched piece or use it as a basic outline to paint the design. I know many of us are on tight budgets, so I thought this would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
