Well, taking a break from blogging has let me catch up a bit on the embroidery. There’s still a lot to do before the upcoming exhibitions, but I hope I can now return to the usual weekly posts However it’s well past first of the month, and well past time for a freebie. I’m afraid I haven’t had the chance to do anything new, so here’s another from the archives – a colourful Jacobean motif.
A strippy Jacobean design, in two sizes
It’s a long rectangular shape and you might be able to use it on the edge of napkins or placemats, or as part of a border. The original version was for the 4×4 (100mm x 100mm) hoop, but I think it should enlarge well. So I’m putting up two versions of the design, one for the small 4×4 hoop, and one for the larger 5×7 (130x180mm) hoop. However: WARNING! I haven’t had time to stitch it out at the larger size, and although it should be OK, you never know! So you might want to test the design before trying it on anything important
Here's the small version (4×4) and here's the large one (5×7). And here's the worksheet
Right – hope to see you next week as usual!
Hi Mia, Your Jacobean flower design is just spectacular and I think it would be awesome on a jean skirt or jacket! Glad to hear that your exhibition pieces are coming along so well that you will be back to your weekly newsletters.
Thank you so much for this Fabulous design! Gail
