The Accidental Embroiderer

A free William Morris inspiration

Well, last month I promised that this time I'd offer something a little more elegant than a tractor as a freebie. I'm not sure if this entirely fits the bill but at least it's not another design of machinery! It's a simple flower motif, based on the William Morris style which I've always liked. It's pretty simple in itself, but you could copy it and then mirror the copy, to make a symmetrical floral design that might go well on soft furnishings. It's for the 5×7 hoop (130 x 180 mm) and there's no appliqué – it's all embroidery

  1. Hi Mia, Thank you for the lovely floral design. This would be lovely on linens, jackets,down the legs of pants, etc. This would be an easy design to rotate, mirror image (as you suggested),or copy to make a border. Stitched out on a piece of netting or organza, this would be a neat design to add to a bar of soap, or on the side of a candle.

  2. Mia, thank you so much for this wonderful design. As you and Gail have suggested, various ways of using this design would all be terrific, I will put on placemats and serviettes, and am sure I can find some other items to use it on as well. Thank you again, hope you are well.
