Does anyone remember when I committed to designing four seasonal houses in the "House For All Seasons" freebies collection last year? You may not believe me, but I do too. The four houses, (Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter), are "Challenges" for Meagan's Brooke's Books Interactive Yahoo! Group. I started off strong with "Summer House" but got waylaid by our home school life and didn't get to "Autumn House" like I promised. (Great results from the "Summer House" Challenge, by the way. You can see the entries here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bbinteractive/photos/album/908982080/pic/list Congratulations, PennyB!.) Anyway, I'm back on track with this "Winter House" offering. Here's how a BBI Challenge works: You can either download these charts as freebies and stitch them the way I've designed them with no obligation or you can participate in Meg's BBI "House For All Seasons" Challenges. Either way, you need to join her Brooke's Books Interactive Yahoo! Group to have access to the charts. All the "House" charts are located in the BBI Files section under Freebies / Challenges Freebies folder. There's no sign up for this. Stitch Winter House anyway you'd like. Add things, subtract things, use different colors and specialty threads, use beads, bobbles, buttons...Be creative and stitch it your way. Then upload a photo of your masterpiece in the folder specially designated by Meagan for this Challenge in the group's photo section by March 15. Meagan will then run a poll starting March 16 so you can vote for your favorite entry. The winner will win six Brooke's Books Publishing chart packs of their choosing. So go to it! Happy Winter Stitching!
Beautiful!!!
Thanks

Thank you so much for this lovely design. I also want to thank you for creating two charts, one in color and one without color. Trust me, the one without color truly helps someone like me with vision issues. I can easily follow the symbols and get all the colors correct. Thank you. :)
