Printable PDF with the Embroidery Designs ![]() ![]() I’ll be back with results of my tests, but in the meantime, perhaps you’ll enjoy doing something with the pattern. The purpose of the project, really, is to test a couple things – specifically, the linen towels that I recently came across, that I think might make good blanks for embroidery, a new tambour hook, and a transfer method. ![]() So that’s what I’m toying with, design wise, at the moment, for just a very quick project all around. (If you’re not familiar with tambour embroidery, you can read all about it here, along with tips, techniques, and patterns.)Īnd I’m thinking – since the linen is a natural color and rather fine linen – that I will try this in tambour work, in white on natural.Īdmittedly, part of me is still hemming and hawing over the color. I have a new tambour hook I want to try out very soon. I’m thinking tambour embroidery for this. I might jostle it about a little more and elongate the design a bit – we shall see!īut I also wanted to explore something that was much more corner-suited – something that worked well in a 90-degree corner situation. I wanted something that would work well on the narrow, straight end of something like a table runner or that would look nice centered on the front edge of a hand towel, and I think the above design would work for both of those placement ideas. These particular grapes & wheat have a very contemporary flavor, so that’s why I started doodling around with them. You’ll find the design that these components came from in my Church Patterns e-book, for those who are looking for church-related embroidery designs. Grapes & wheat are symbolic in ecclesiastical embroidery, but it just so happens they also work well for secular kitchen and table embroidery, too. I extracted the components from this pattern from an old ecclesiastical design. I haven’t had a chance to pursue working the design yet – hoping to start something this weekend – but in the meantime, I thought I’d share the embroidery designs with you. I’ve been playing with this design for a purpose, which I’ll tell you about below. Because it’s Wednesday, because we’re half-way through the week, and because I love playing with embroidery designs, I think today’s a great day to share a free hand embroidery pattern with you! ![]()
