First, for those of you who requested and automatic transfer of my blog page to your emails, this has had to come to an end. I am sorry but, with the increase I was asked to pay for something I am giving as a free chart, wasn't acceptable. I hope you will all understand and keep logging on to me and taking part in whatever series comes up in the future.
Part 8 already! and now into March. All looking lovely...

When I view all of your pictures of this design as it grows each week, I am absolutely delighted, thrilled, as to how it is looking. As you know, I don't get the time to stitch these free charts and if there are any mistakes I am sorry, but, I know you will let me know and I can correct it. So far so good!!!
Part 7 is now here and I hope you will enjoy this week's section.

All of your stitched pieces that you have so kindly shown on my Lesley Teare group page, https://www.facebook.com/groups/529145740484076/ look wonderful. It is so lovely to see the different fabrics, and, even one talented stitcher adapting the border. I will look forward to catching up with all of your new photos in the coming...

The latest Cross Stitch Gold magazine 161 has just been issued with a lovely black labrador puppy designed by Jenny Barton on the cover. It looks really soft and cuddly. My design for this issue is quite Spring like with a picture of a blue tit with its nest so we can start looking forward to next year and warmer weather in our Northern hemisphere.
It has been stitched beautifully for the magazine by Jan Hazeltine.
Well, this time next week it...

Hope your week has gone well. Just for me this is a couple of weeks to relax slightly, but I thought a simple design for that last minute stitching might not go amiss. Please use what colours you like, and of course, I always love to see the stitched outcome.
If you haven't joined my Lesley Teare group, then please do, and let us see and read about the designs of mine that you are stitching. Here is the link:

Over the past few years I have enjoyed working on 11 free SALs for you to stitch. I hope the quality of the designs has been high and that many of you have enjoyed stitching some of them.
It is now time for changes, as after 30 years of designing for books and magazines I have decided to cut back on my workload. Some of you may have noticed over the past year that there are fewer designs of mine in...

This simple, yet striking design is the one I have worked on for Lakeside Needlecraft for their Winter Cross stitch book 2019. It is full of exclusive charts from 60 worldwide designers. Do take a look as it would be a lovely idea for a Christmas present whether for a stitching friend or perhaps spoil yourself!
