Free Cross Stitch Pattern Index - Updated

Last week, Rain asked when I'd be posting an image of my completed Tangerine Heart. Well, I still haven't finished it, but here's a photo that shows my latest progress.

I can usually only bead for one needle's worth of floss before I want to move to another project, so I am not making speedy progress, but slow and steady instead.

My Tangerine Heart is not the only progress update I have for you. I have spent the last couple of days working on the Free Cross Stitch Patterns Index. Not only did I update it with all the latest free patterns added to the site, but I also reworked it to make it a little easier to navigate. I also moved the Hardanger patterns and Candlewicking patterns to their own indices. If you enjoy back stitching, there's a list of Free Back Stitch Patterns too.
