Now, before we get to April’s free design, regular readers will know that from time to time I get my knickers in a twist (to use a good old British expression!) about readers “blocking” their e-mail addresses from their comments when they ask for the freebie. This is of course very frustrating for me, because it means I have no address to send the freebie to
However thanks to a concerned reader (thanks, Bev!) I now think I know how this happens. If you access the blog from Google, for some reason it doesn’t pass on your e-mail address, and there are also some problems with making comments. So if you want the freebie, just quit Google and access the blog in the usual way by directing your browser to http://theaccidentalembroiderer.typepad.com, and ask for this month’s free design. I hope this will help your address get through
OK, this month’s freebie is another example from my dim-and-distant design past. In olden times I did a lot of art nouveau and Art Deco-inspired design, and recently I’ve been thinking that many of my old works could be re-drawn and re-interpreted. Meanwhile this is just a simple design from one of my old collections, done in a 1930’s style as redwork – that is, in just one colour. It’s a bit simple just as it is, but you could use it as a frame for a text. I can see it serving as a cover for a book or notebook, with the title embroidered in the open space between the trees
Two simple Art Deco trees
If you’d like me to send you this free design, just drop a comment to the blog asking for it. There’s no worksheet for this design because it’s all just one colour, but it’s for the 5×7 hoop, and there are 7070 stitches in it
The trees are lovely, I would love to have them grow for me.
Thanks
Michelle

Deceptively simple and serenely peaceful! Please send me the embroidery design.
