I'm so blessed to be able to share these patterns with you all. I hope that the abundant blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, and keep you. God has been very good to me, in the good times, and now that we are going through dificult times, I continue to see His mercy with us every day. I am reminded of the hymn that says something like,
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine!
Oh, and I am His, also! We can be safe, because we are in His keeping, His eternal keeping.

This page has my free crochet patterns. They are all original designs by me: please observe all copyright laws. Do not post to other web sites or bulletin, or claim it as your own.... it's not polite! :o) :o) But you may print them out for your own use.
These pages are meant for beginners, but experienced crocheters are welcome, too. I want to write the patterns out in such a way that anyone who is learning can easily understand the instructions and carry them out. Unfortunately, I do not have photos for some of them, but hopefully, I might be able to add some later on. If you have any questions, you can send me
By the way, a lot of people write to me asking for certain patterns, like that of my first teddy bear, the blanket, or Christian patterns, such as the 23rd Psalm, a bust of Jesus, etc. I'm sorry, but I don't have patterns for any of this. I wish I did. You might want to ask Jennie at:
