Easter Sampler Stitchery Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Easter is not that far off so I thought you'd like to see a wonderful Easter sampler pattern that Kaaren Johnston has on her The Painted Quilt blog. Looks like a great project for the rest of the winter months.

First Friday Freebie 7 - Easter Sampler

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Last Sunday morning, while doing a bit of housework trying to fill in time until the start of the gold medal hockey game between Canada and the United States, an idea for a new design popped into my head. After some quick sketching and even speedier stitching, a new design was born, just in time for this month’s First Friday Freebie.

I had actually completed another design that was designated for this month and it was all ready to go but when I realized that Easter is early this year and if I waited until next month to come up with something for Easter, it would be too late for this year. So the design that was originally slated for this month has been set aside until next month.

I hope you enjoy my Easter Sampler.

Woodland Santa Pillow Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

I have several different Santa collections that I bring out at the holiday season. There's my tall Santa's collection, my mini Santa's collection, my Santa dolls. What I don't have is a collection of Santa pillows. Given that Kaaren Johnston has a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a woodland Santa pillow I may just have to start that collection of Santa pillows. How about you?.

First Friday Freebie #23 - Woodland Santa

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Yesterday we flipped the calendar over to December and today is the First Friday of the month…already! If this is your first visit here, welcome! You’ve picked the right day to stop by because on the First Friday of every month, I release a new Freebie design for you to make and enjoy.

So in keeping with the season, allow me to present to you my Woodland Santa. This month, I decided to make a pillow out of mine.

Christmas Eve Stocking Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

If you've been looking for an adorable Christmas stocking design then you'll be happy to know that Kaaren Johnston had a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a Christmas Eve stocking.

First Friday Freebie #4 - Christmas Eve Stocking

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: It’s the First Friday of the month again so it’s time for my fourth FFF (First Friday Freebie). Do you realize it’s only 21 days until Christmas? Yikes! Where have the days gone?

Although Christmas is a short three weeks away, this month’s design can be stitched up relatively quickly and be ready in plenty of time to hang by the chimney awaiting St. Nick’s arrival.

This month’s design is adapted from an painting I did about 6 years ago that appeared in a Japanese decorative painting magazine. It’s called Christmas Eve.

Winter Cardinal Quilt Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

My sister just adores cardinals and I try to make something for her every once in awhile. So, I was happy to see that Kaaren Johnston had a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a mini winter quilt with a cardinal. My sister would love it.

First Friday Freebie #17 - Winter

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Can you believe that it’s the First Friday of February already? I certainly hope that this month flies by as quickly as January did because that would mean we’re that much closer to Spring. Please…no more snow!

Since we are in the throes of winter and cardinals visit our bird feeders on a daily basis, I drew my inspiration for this month’s FFF (First Friday Freebie) from their beauty. Their coloring is simply amazing and lends itself perfectly to redwork. This month’s project is called, “Winter”.

Winter Wonderland Quilt Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Do you like hand quilting in redwork style? And, do you love snowmen? Well, if you do Kaaren Johnston has a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a winter wonderland quilt. Have fun in the snow!

First Friday Freebie #24 - Winter Wonderland

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Worked in the traditional redwork style and hand quilted, this month’s FFF features a little girl building a snowman and is accompanied by her cat. What do you think, is the cat is there to keep her company or does he have something else on his mind…like dinner? *wink*

Homespun Holidays Quilt Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

One of the things I love about the holiday season is all the bright red and green colors associated with the Christmas season. Red, of course, being my favorite color. So, I was happy to see that Kaaren Johnston had yet another wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a Homespun Holidays red quilt. That would look right at home in my house. How about yours?

First Friday Freebie #22 - Homespun Holidays

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Can you believe it’s November already? Where does the time go?

I finished this month’s First Friday Freebie this past Sunday, a couple of minutes before the lights went out. We were hit with a wicked nor’easter, the same storm that brought 12” and more of snow to the New England states. Thank goodness the moisture that we experienced was in the form of large amounts of driving rain and 65+ mph winds rather than snow. We lost power for 20 hours and that amount of time without heat or lights seemed like an eternity.

With the Holiday season just around the corner, I decided upon a seasonal design for this month’s FFF which I called Homespun Holidays.
