Free Embroidery Pattern // Clouds

“Tut, Tut! It looks like rain!” The entire time I was stitching this pattern I had the raincloud song from Winnie The Pooh running through my head. “I’m just a little black raincloud, hovering under the honey tree…”. I apologize in advance if that happens to you as well. I used a variegated gray embroidery floss to stitch these clouds […]

Free Hand Embroidery Pattern// Thanksgiving Turkey

I love Thanksgiving. It’s my absolute favorite holiday, and not because of the food (though delicious food definitely helps increase my love). I try to practice gratitude all year long, but the additional push toward thankfulness during Thanksgiving season makes it all the more meaningful.

Free Hand Embroidery Pattern// Holly Sprig

This weekend has been full of kids’ sports (a swim meet and a soccer game) and house projects. Now I’m looking forward to our traditional weekly pizza and a movie night and some uninterrupted stitching time.

Free Hand Embroidery Pattern // Mistletoe

This is one of my favorite patterns of the whole series. I am so pleased with how it turned out and I think it is going to make an adorable addition to our Christmas decor. I stitched the leaves and stems with split stitch, the ribbon with backstitch and the berries with satin stitch. I may need to spread these […]

Free Halloween Candy Embroidery Pattern

Continuing with the 31 Days of Free Embroidery Patterns, today I’ve got these cute Halloween candies for you! Speaking of treats, my 21 month old is a little obsessed with candy right now. He doesn’t have it often, but one time (ONE time!) I bought him a sucker while we were out running errands. He hates being in the […]
