I’ve been thinking about a new departure for this blog. At the suggestion of a couple of readers (thanks, Cherri and Spanky!) I would like to make some of my design files available to readers, free of charge. Each month I’ll put up a new design, and if you would like to add it to your collection of embroidery designs, just drop me a line and I’ll send it to you.
Of course this offer will only be of interest if you have a computerised embroidery machine that will accept and stitch out digitised designs. The design files will be of no use to you unless you can send them to an embroidery machine for stitching.
There will have to be a few conditions, I’m afraid. The main problem is that I don’t have a lot of time to spend on this project, and will only be able to send the designs that I use, and won’t be able to make any changes to them. For example, I digitise in the .pes format, because that is what my machine uses, and I am not able to convert files into other formats. For a list of the conditions under which I am making these designs available, please see the “free design” page here. There are some important points there
This month’s free design is this little Mexican bird, which I digitised a long time ago. It was based on a design I saw moulded into a small glass bottle, and I thought it was perfectly suited to be an embroidery. It’s for embroidery only (that is, no applique) and will fit into a standard 4 inch x 4 inch hoop (100 x 100 mm). If you would like this design, just send a comment to this blog asking for it and I’ll send it out to you. It will be available from 1st December 2013 until 1st January 2014

Hi Mia,
I think your free design is going to be a big hit. Several years ago I posted a
Pictured of my white jeans with your Jacobean Bell pull designs on the Bernina group. I had many compliments on the designs and inquiries as to where I got them. Now with your kindness of your free designs others can enjoy what I have been privileged to have for a long time.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful work. I know the Quilters will love Cherri’s work as well.

Cute little Mexican bird. I would love him, too. Thank you for your generosity.
Would love to try the sweet little bird on table linen. I live in the southwest and ethnic designs for embroidery machines are most welcome. The colors are just perfect.
