Newest (and past) Permin Freebies
December 2015 - Santa with Goose (cute)
November 2015 - Candles with Poinsettia (nice)
Most are small, simple and quick-stitch designs that will fit a 2" or 3" frame (depends on your fabric count and shape of the design). Perfect for a greeting card insert or glue-on and quick Christmas ornies, etc. Also some button covers and at least one placemat or corner design for something. Nice mostly quick stitch designs when you want to set aside that BAP or do a quick project. The chart sheet includes any special stitching or instructions along with the shape of the appropriate small frame.
Best yet: Explore freebies back to May 2011 by changing the year and month at the end of the url. July 2012 would be 2012_07 for example. HOWEVER, not all months are still available (I only spot checked primarily for December).. While May 2011 was still there, the next one was November. I found at lesast one duplicate. But if this sort of design/stitching interests you, it might be worth a bit of exploration. Without a photo on the chart sheet, sometimes it's a little hard to tell what the design is. My favorite has been the 2015_01 Deer in Forest scene. Wished I had used evenweave.
Note I'm thinking and talking about cross-stitching again! I'm waiting on my new glasses to come in but I'm so used to reading blur that while these Walmart readers are definitely not perfect, they are better than nothing,- even if I sometimes have to wear a second pair on top of the first to read - and stitch?
Update: I've gone through and d/l all the freebies I back to the partial 2011. IF I still have the motivation, I MAY lst them by month, but only IF THERE IS SIGNIFICANT INTEREST.. A LOT of flowers, only a few of which I've indicate the colors when I saved.

Miscellaneous Freebies
Kitties Will Puke ... True if a bit disgusting project.
DMC Threads - Related DMC blog with 2 new freebies and some cute spring ideas
Plum Pudding Design freebies
Which gives me the opportunity to relate that I had the happy privilege of meeting Connie from Reflections Gallery in Omaha, who model stitches for Plum Pudding, last week when she made a trip to Texas to visit family. We'd emailed and planned to meet at Stitch Niche, shop and have some lunch. Well, it happened to be a busy Wednesday morning, Kathy had several customers come in who needed personal assistance, so Connie just stepped in with her best needleworker attitude, helped a stitcher select threads for a new project, then assisted a couple who dropped in to "just look around" find what they were looking for .. and then some! :D I've already finished the Prairie Schooler "Where the Bees Are" and one of the smaller designs, so decided to Add "Rabbit Run" to my sudden need to CROSS STITCH! It was rather amusing seeing Connie, here on a vacation, step in and go right back to work. She's VERY knowledgeable and a wonderful lady. After spending a lot more time there than anticipated, we headed to El Chico to give her a Tex-Mex fix *both ordering sour cream chicken enchiladas, me substituting another bean for the rice and her substituting another rice for the beans. That gave us a chuckle, had a long conversation and discovered we have so much more in common as well, and she insisted on paying for us both. THANK YOU AGAIN, CONNIE!!. Wonderful visit, but what else would one expect meeting a fellow cross-stitcher! Really hope we can meet up again in the future. When I can figure out why my scanner insists on saving to .pdf instead of .jpg. I'll post some pics of my recent projects!

Cross Eyed Cricket Easter Freebie
Tisket-a-Tasket Egg
I've finished stitching the new Prairie Schooler Where There Are Bees (requires about 1-1/2 skeins of 3787) as well as the multi-motif smaller ornament, as well as two of the Halloween designs from the Mini-Card pack. As soon as I can figure out why my scanner keeps converting everything to a .pdf file rather than a .jpg, I'll upload pictures.
