I stitched mine as a pinkeep on 32 ct. linen, but I don't have any matching trim. I hope to buy some next week and post a picture by Wednesday.

About The Peacock Chart
I've fixed the chart. I had created it on fade-out graph paper. You can see the grid now.

Stop MTR Free Cross Stitch Chart
StopMTRPage1
StopMTRPage2
StopMTRPage3
Some months ago I read about the about mountaintop removal that has been going on for some years in Appalachia. I had no idea of how destructive it is. I could hardly sleep the night after viewing the images of our West Virginia mountains that have been transformed into something akin to a lunar landscape.
We need coal. About 50 % of the electricity we are using is generated by coal. However, the topography of Appalachia is much different than that of Wyoming. West Virginia (and the other Appalachian states) possess rich hardwood forests that are the home to many, many plant and animal species.
West Virginia is losing much by allowing the enormous scale of this type of mining. Planting grass over the mining sites will not equal the loss of species, habitat, fresh water, tourist dollars, and timber for many woodworkers and manufacturers.
The little motifs are examples of the diverse species found in West Virginia that are being affected by MTR.Left to Right: black bear paw print; American ginseng berries and root; black walnuts; Black Mountain salamander;
red fox paw print; yellow poplar leaf; Eastern whitetail deer hoof prints.

Swirly Peacock Freebie
Peacock Swirl
Here is a free peacock chart that I designed. The beak should be a half cross stitch in the upper right corner.
Mine is stitched upon 28ct. white Monaco. I used DMC shaded purple floss. I don't have matching ribbon to finish it (as a pinkeep) yet.
Thank you for reading the blog.

Free Valentine Cross Stitch Chart
.
This is a free chart that I designed. I downloaded a free PDF software but it is not working. You need to right-click on the image and save it to your computer. On printer set-up, you will need to shrink the image to fit an 8 1/2 " X 11" paper.
Mine is stitched on 28ct. white Monaco. The picture was not taken in good light.
Get started on those Valentines!
