Sparrow - a free design for you to stitch...

Each month or two I try to share with you a free design that is inspired by my love of Scripture, but the project I'm sharing this time is inspired by the words of a lovely old hymn instead - "His Eye is on the Sparrow". 
Do you know it?




The block can be stitched up quite fast if you have an afternoon to spare.
Mine has been framed, but you may like to display yours in a different setting...



I designed this whilst on cyclone watch a couple of weeks ago. Though the cyclone passed south with minimal impact, I still pondered with awe the power of God, and His gentle grace that has carried my heart through many 'storms' in life. Indeed, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches over me...

You can download the design HERE until December 31st, 2014.

  2. Jenny - I have just recently gotten in to embroidery and I LOVE your blog. I'm doing my first red work, but I want to continue to do other projects. I'm also a quilter, so I think the two things go hand in hand. Hugs!!

  20. Thank you for a lovely pattern and the reminder of a beautiful song.
    Now I just have to learn all the stitches to be able to make this beautiful pattern. I'm following along on your stitching lessons. Though I'm not totally new at it; I have never known some of these intricate stitches. Thank you for all of your time and willingness to share. The song - "Brighten the corner where you are.." comes to mind when I think of you. You probably don't realize how you brighten the days of others.

  27. Wow! How beautiful! I think we might have a "God-thing" happening here. This whole past week I've been in the ER and hospital with my 82-year-old aunt, watching as she slips into dementia with no apparent physical cause. One of her favorite songs, which she sang every time she put in her hearing aids to check their volume, was this comforting hymn. Thanks for sharing this lovely pattern. When I finally have time to do some handwork, I hope to make this, maybe for her enjoyment.

  30. Hi, Jenny. I'm not sure that I always thank you for your wonderful designs so I wanted to tell you that they are fabulous. You are so generous and I do appreciate all your hard work. This one is especially sweet though it's reall too tough to choose a favorite. Hope you're having a great day - sporting that sassy new hair style.

It's always nice to receive feedback on a blog post, so *thank you* for taking time to comment!
I will try to reply via email unless you are a 'no reply blogger' which means you'll have to check for my reply in the comments. Of course, life is a rather hazardous activity, isn't it? So if I don't respond to your comment that's the reason why - life simply stepped in...
hugs
Jennifer
