    I think your links are wrong. I’m looking for the pattern for #7 and the site it’s linked to doesn’t have it. Please find it, as I would LOVE to make this! Thanks!

    I would very much like to have some of the patterns shown above but they won’t come up. Can you help me retreive them. I am looking forward to getting the slanted tree shown as #20 and the hangning bells shown as #6.
    Thank you so much for your time.

    I’m not sure exactly what kind of problem you’re describing, Virginia. If you’re trying to click on the images–I’m so sorry, but the structure of CraftGossip doesn’t allow us to link that way. The set of images is related to the #1 post for 2011. If you’ll scroll down to the text link for #1 and click it, you’ll go to the original post. Each image in that original post has a numbered text link to take you to the site on which the free pattern is offered. Hope this helps!

    Hi, Madmad! Be sure to keep an eye on CraftGossip’s new Cross-stitch blog. Connie posts free cross-stitch patterns over there nearly every day–usually several each day. She’s finding some good stuff!
