More Random Acts of Kindness

Random Acts of Kindness - free downloadable patterns for small projects to share!

I am offering free downloadable appliqué patterns in a series for small table runners, candle mats and framed projects using minimal supplies.  I call the series "Random Acts of Kindness" because I hope you will find the projects simple enough to make one for a friend!

This little cardinal table runner was made with the Winter Wool Tweed Flannels from Benartex.  I used a fat quarter folded in half as the background. It can also be made much longer to fit any table.

The framed picture was made with Winterberry cotton quilt fabric.  I couldn't decide if I wanted to make a pillow or frame it but the frame called out to me.  I might make another in hand-dyed wool.  Some patterns in this series might include optional things such as French knots and other embellishments or buttons. Designs can be embroidered by hand or machine. You choose the fabric, flannel or wool. You can hand-stitch with thread, Pearl cotton or embroidery floss.

These project sheets are free. If you want to share the pattern with friends, we ask that you please direct them to our website/Blog for printing. Each design prints on 8-1/2” x 11” paper. Let me know how they turn out!

If you post pictures of your finished projects, please tag us- The Prairie Grove Peddler Pattern Company on Facebook or @cherylprairiegrovepeddler and #prairiegrovepeddler on Instagram.

There's a free cross stitch to match also!

Happy 1st Sunday of Summer

We just got back last night from a Haynes family reunion/ trout fishing trip. We got the suburban unpacked, most things put away, and the mail sorted. The laundry is started and the email has been skimmed through. I think that's enough for a Sunday. I took my camera but the batteries died after 1 picture. That's just ONE picture. That's what I got. Such as life. I took a couple on my cell phone so as soon as I figure out how to email them to me, I'll add them to this post.

Meanwhile, Kathy Shope sent this great picture of her mom with the Winter's Majesty quilt that Kathy made for her. She painstakingly spent three years working on. It's hand quilted and I think she did a beautiful job.

Christmas Winners!

Well, we have two winners for last week. They are Donna from TN and Joan from SD. Congratulations ladies! I sent you an email.

I did something special on my Newsletter last week and had a lot of comments about it. Thanks to everyone who responded in time and got a free chart.

This week I thought I'd offer THREE Cardinal charts- they are the ones pictured here. We'll also have THREE winners this week. By the way, this contest is open to everyone, whether you are in the United States or not.

To enter, email me before next Saturday at midnight. Put you entire mailing address in there (sorry, those without are not considered for winning and we have had a lot of them incomplete) and "Cardinal" in the title. Good luck!
