Right – time for another freebie (or two). Life has been very busy recently so again these are taken from some old files, from the days when I was doing more decorative and less arty designs. They’re small designs (for the 4×4 inch hoop) taken from old art nouveau motifs and are done in a conventional style, with the applique fabric forming the large stylised flowers. The applique is done in the usual way, with satin stitch borders to the fabric which I don’t usually like much, but in this kind of design it’s fine. They’re simple designs but there’s nothing wrong with that, and if you have some subtly patterned fabric, this might be a good place to use it
Art Nouveau 1
Art Nouveau 2. May be tricky to cut out!
I hesitated a bit before posting these, because the narrow indentations on number 2 make trimming the applique fabric very fiddly. But if you use light-weight cotton for the fabric, and small scissors with fine tips for the cutting, it should be OK. And the satin stitch borders should help disguise any mistakes
