Happy Easter (and some Freebies and More)

SewCalGal wishes you a very Happy Easter.  And, I wanted to share a few warm fuzzies with you today:

For those that enjoy Free-Motion Quilting, American Quilter's Society has a free design for cute duckies that you can download and use.

“Duckies” quilting pattern from a book by"Quilt This! Practical Patterns for Everyday Quilting", by Lynda Smith and published by AQS.  While SewCalGal has not had an opportunity to check out this book, I'm hoping to soon.  Looks like it has cute designs.

 

Free Birdie Pincushion pattern, by Sharon Holland Designs:

Free SVG File:  While SewCalGal is copyright protected, I created this SVG WorldArt  to share with those that have ecutters.  You have my permission to use this Happy Easter SVG for your own personal use.  Click here to download the SVG file from Google Drive (you'll need to click to download the file once you click to get to my Google Drive Folder).  For those that wish only to use this as clipart, you are welcome to use this image for your personal use.

If you use an ecutter (e.g. Silhouette, Brother Scan N Cut, Sizzix Eclipse) feel free to leave a comment and let me know what sort of designs you are interested in creating on your ecutter, and if you create your own designs vs use free/purchase designs.

And, while I typically try to share insights on sales at Fingertip Shopping, this SALE ALERT just seemed opportunistic to share with you here today:
