Looks a lot like selling rather than sharing !
Sorry you feel that way - yes, I do sell patterns. I'm homebound with MS and that's how I make my little bit of pin money. But Ukrainian Rhapsody and a number of other patterns are free as "advertised", along with links to other designers' free stuff, their shops, and all the interesting/useful blackwork info I can find and get permission to share.
Here's a different link directly to the free stuff -
No need to apologize, Liadain! Your free design was right there on the page you gave as your first link. It's lovely and I appreciate it as I'm sure others do also. You have a lot of good information on your website along with other free designs and Tutorials. Hopefully it might encourage some to try a new technique.
What a refreshing change to have a designer post about her latest design! As a needlework newsgroup we should be encouraging more designers to do so. It would be nice to know what's new in the needlework world, especially when you live in a small province without a needlework shop.
I wish you well with Millefiori and hope that those who were asking about the pattern will now see that it's available on your website.
