Welcome to Freda's Fancies

Original counted canvas work, needlepoint, cross stitch and sampler designs by Freda Murfin. All designs on this website are delivered to your inbox via digital downloads.

We also sell on Etsy!

A Potpourri Stitches is an 8-part stitch along (SAL) sampler design that will really challenge your counting skills! The first two parts focus specifically on the herringbone gone wrong border and the remaining six parts are the fills. The finished size is approximately 15" x 15" (260 x 260 thread count).

This is an exclusive Freda’s Fancy Stitching design and will only be available on our website.  It is a digital download and does NOT include any materials.  We do not sell kits or any supplies. 

How it works

MONTHLY RELEASES - The first part will be released on September 1, 2025. New parts will follow on the 1st of each month with the last part being released on April 1, 2026.  We aren’t keeping secrets with this design.  A Potpourri of Stitches is large and we’ve broken it into smaller bits so you have time to finish each part before the next one arrives.

Release dates: Part 1 - September 1, 2025; Part 2 - October 1. 2025; Part 3 - November 1, 2025; Part 4 - December 1, 2025; Part 5 - January 1, 2026; Part 6 - February 1, 2026; Part 7 - March 1, 2026; Part 8 - April 1, 2026

Once you have purchased this digital SAL pattern, you’ll automatically receive an email with a download link for the first part of the design.  Part 1 will get you started with the supply list, instructions on how to get started and instructions for the outside border.

ONE TIME PAYMENT – Pay once for the entire DIGITAL pattern which includes all 8 parts.  You can join anytime and immediately receive all previously released parts.
