Try Bunny Hill designs or Crabtree Hill they have some beautiful stuff. Also, try looking at some Christmas coloring books.

I have a set of snowmen from Aunt Martha. I bought them from Walmart. You might Google Bird Brain Designs. They have really cute patterns of snowmen, Santas, bunnies---

For hand embroidery google Christmas coloring pages or snowmen coloring pages. Coloring books make wonderful redwork patterns. I've used them for years.

They also have different sales every week. Here's this week's. I really don't think you can go wrong for $1.25. These are beautifully digitized!

One last tip, look thru their embroideries and add the ones you like to your wish list. They periodically have sales on everything on your list.

I also definitely recommend this site. Often designs are $1.25 and they are always well done. Always.

Any clues or hints on where to go? Free would be best......thanks for your help!!!

Keep checking Embroidery Library…they have sales frequently where designs are $1.25 each - not free but pretty close!! They have had some absolutely WONDERFUL rework designs this year……..Some may still be available…….

Good morning, I just received an email from embroiderydesignsplus.com and they have a design set of 10 bluework snowmen on sale today only for $6.24 that are pretty cute. I get emails from them daily with a sale of the day and have ordered a lot of designs and have never had any problems with them. Once you pay for them you can download the design immediately and it is always on your account if you need to download it again.
