When you think of winter birds, what is the first bird that comes to mind? For me that would be cardinals. I love to see their flashes of bright red against the white snow. They can brighten even the dreariest of winter days. So for this month’s free embroidery pattern, I’ve designed this cheerful Cardinal Embroidery Pattern for you to…
When times are hard, it’s often easy to forget how much we truly have to be grateful for. I’ve designed this Gratitude Embroidery Pattern to be stitched on items to encourage us to remember how truly blessed we all are. I chose to embroider mine on to a fabric journal cover to create a Gratitude Journal with a composition book…
Welcome to another Embroidery Monday where I share a free embroidery pattern on the first Monday of each month and host the Stitchery Link Party for all things hand embroidered. Today’s pretty Pumpkin Banner Embroidery Pattern is the perfect small project to stitch up in time to add to your fall decor later this month. To make the Pumpkin Banner…
Each month, I share a free embroidery pattern for you to download and stitch. This month’s Salad Bowl Embroidery Pattern is perfect to embroider on items for the summer.

After all… for those of us who embroider,…

I have a series of adorable vintage Workbasket patterns that I’ve decided are children dressed in their costumes ready for Halloween fun. Last week, I shared this young boy…
Here in Canada, we have a long weekend so… Happy Victoria Day to all my Canadian readers! Next Monday is the Memorial Day long weekend in the United States. When we lived in the States, many of our friends and neighbors liked to decorate for Memorial Day and then leave the decorations up right through until Independence Day. I loved seeing…
As I was searching through my vintage Workbasket pattern files for one to share with you, I realized that it’s been quite a while since I posted an alphabet pattern. This one is quite different from the ones I shared in the past such as the 2″ Floral Alphabet A to O (letters P to Z) and the smaller 1″…
