Freebie Tracker: Cross Stitch & Embroidery

Which is a frickin crime.

So, I've decided that here is where I'll try to keep track of what I come across. Let me know what you find & stitch! ❤

Braille Alphabet*

Alright.

Lost in the excitement of my French knot haze, I missed a couple things: braille alignment, and punctuation.

So, I've done a little rearranging and expanding upon the Braille Alphabet embroidery pattern. I was also able to correct a few other charted sayings, before putting those out into the world. I hope to advance into higher levels of Braille soon enough. :)
